A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see
but like any other house it's only temporary
home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
if there's no love inside it will soon fall apart
Chorus: Ashes to ashes dust into dust
buildings will crumble bridges will rust
mountains will disappear and rivers will dry up
and so it goes with everything but love
(so it goes) with everything but love (so it goes)
You can drive around in a long limousine
if you don't know where you're goin' it don't mean a thing
he who walks a mile just to hold an empty hand
knows what it means to be a wealthy man
Repeat Chorus: same as above except:(palaces will crumble)
Bridge: Worldly treasures will all pass away
there's just one thing that was put here to stay
Last Chorus: Ashes to ashes dust into dust
kingdoms will crumble bridges will rust
mountains will disappear and rivers will dry up
and so it goes with everything but love (so it goes)
with everything but love (so it goes)
with everything but love (so it goes)
with everything butlove
