We all know life
Is a one-way train
It can't slow down
Nor go round again
Every now and then
Along its way
Something happens
That takes your breath away
Like when you fall in love
For the first time in your life those butterflies
Fly round and round and make your heart
Turn inside out
Until one day they fly away
On the train of life
On the train of life
Fashions come and go
And generations too
They've been on that train
The same as me and you
As we get older
And the years go by
Each cherished moment
Is locked away inside
Like when you hold your child
Before he grows into a man you hold him tight
Those innocent eyes melt your heart
You start to cry
Knowing one day he'll walk away
On the train of life
On the train of life
Just remember
That life doesn't change
The past is the future
On this never ending train
But there are memories
That make you sad
They make you treasure
All that you have
Like when you say goodbye
To someone close to you before they walk away
And that's the last word that they'll ever hear you say
But you don't know it at the time
That's the train of life
The train of life
The train of life
The train of life
