Moving On
Gary Moore and B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just this morning
I took a big long look around
I've lived it up and loved it up
And done it in this town

Life goes on
Look like it's time
For moving on
Good-bye, baby

I want to thank you for the ride
We did a dance and took a chance
Nothing we ain't tried
See'est la vie

Time, you and me
Moving on
I'm moving on
I'll see you somewhere down the line

I'm moving on
We're looking good and feeling fine
I'm moving on
And you are yours and I'm mine

I'll see you somewhere in my dreams
I'm moving on
So thanks for all the memories
I'm moving on

And you can call me mr. breeze
I'm moving on
Life is full of mysteries
Nothing is ever what it seems

Might try Vegas
And keep on playing till I win
Or take it out to Hollywood
And fall in love again

Come what may
Night and day

I'm moving on
I'm moving on
I'm moving on

I'll see you somewhere down the line
I'm moving on
We're looking good and feeling fine
I'm moving on

And you are yours and I'm mine
I'll see you somewhere in my dreams
I'm moving on
So thanks for all the memories

I'm moving on
And you can call me mr. breeze
I'm moving on





Life is full of mysteries
Nothing is ever what it seems
