Goin’ On Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, going on

[Verse 1: Mike Love]
When in the morning
I must arise
I look in the mirror
It couldn't be clearer
Something is gone from my eyes

[Chorus: Mike Love & Brian Wilson]
Going on
Going on
Going on

[Verse 2: Mike Love]
I know what is missing
Because since you've been gone
My mind keeps on reeling (Mind keeps on reeling)
My heart keeps on feeling (Heart keeps on feeling)
Why is my love going on (Going on)

[Chorus]
Going on
Going on
Going on
[Verse 3: Carl Wilson & Mike Love]
I love you
I miss you
Things won't be the same 'til I kiss you
I'm empty
Without you
My heart's full with my arms about you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah-ah-ah
We said it was over
We're living apart
We couldn't quite make it (Couldn't quite make it)
But still I can't shake it (But still I can't shake it)
Our love still lives on in my heart (In my heart)

[Chorus]
Going on
Going on
Going on

[Verse 4: Carl Wilson & Mike Love]
I love you
Forever
Love won't be the same again ever (Same again ever)
Without you (Without you)
I'm longing (I'm longing)
You gave me a sense of belonging
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, going on
Why is my love going on? (Goin' on)
[Chorus]
Going on
Going on
Going on

[Verse 5: Carl Wilson]
I love you
I miss you
I'm sorry
Forgive me (Won't you forgive me)
Believe me (Believe me)
My lover (My lover)
There never could be any other
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Going on

[Outro: Carl Wilson]
Come be my
Redeemer
Awaken me beautiful dreamer (Beautiful dreamer)
I love you (I love you)
I miss you (I miss you)
Things won't be the same 'til I'm with you
Ah
