Stephen Bishop - On And On (Official Lyric Video) 

Here from tik tok as well 👏

I remember being a little girl and my mom was a nurse one night she was laying in bed because she had to get up very early in the morning for work but she used to leave her radio so that night she let me lay next to her as she cut the TV off and this song came on the radio and she was singing it and I just lay there and listened to her sing I know most people would say you're a black girl how do you know that song my mom passed away 4 years ago and I'm 45 years old and this song makes me think of her I've been looking for this song for a very long time and didn't know who sang it 💕🙏🏽💞

From ticktock..

This song makes me want to go grocery shopping and buy organic fruits and vegetables

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, quite simply! (Cláudio de Melo)

This song came up in my subconscious from when I was a child I lost my mom and my dog is sick and I'm going through a lot of stress and I don't know it just popped up in my head and that's how I feel right now it's just like on and on and you smile and you feel like crying.

Back in my day, growing up in North Carolina, we call this "Blue eyed soul". Hard to duplicate this sound...cudos to Stephen Bishop.

I remember Stephen bishop from k-tell albums

One of my favorite songs...then and now.

Old songs never die❤,I remember my high school days,

One of my favorite songs. It's the rhythm for me> I love the lyrics but the musical arrangement during this time was just unique. Awesome.

thumbs up great song

adore and always cry to this song..

This song was the soundtrack to my first semester away at college at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 1977, alone, wandering the vast and beautiful campus, missing the love of my life back home. Thank you for the memories.

I literally just woke up from a dream about this song. Lately, I’ve been getting signs from my spirit guide. I confirm and have asked for more, now this dream. I’ll journal about it as it doesn’t make too much sense now but perhaps later it will. Peace and love everyone ~

Brilliant masterpiece. I do not say that lightly..

What a wonderful melody

Love this song❤️💔. Makes me think of my Beautiful Husband who’s now is Heaven💔. Lonesome Suz, she’s in love with ol’ Shawn. Take him from the fryer, into the frying pan. On and on, she just keeps on tryin’. And she smiles, when she feels like crying. On and on, On and on. On and on… 😭😭😭😭

I always tear up hearing this song,think about my friend and his mentality disabled young sister who both have past, his sister always played this song when I was younger.❤❤❤

This is one of those catchy, melancholic songs that grows on you as the year wears on.

Bought this album when it came out. Still have it and play it often

on and on i just keep on tryng.....smile when i feel like crying...my life since 1974 when i fell in love with elaine.

I had this album in high school in the 1970’s… I loved it, I would sing it over and over… my brother broke it… still hurts.

I haven't heard this beautiful track since the 80's. Professor of Rock's interview with Stephen Bishop brought me here Thankfully

I heard Save It For a Rainy Day in Trader Joe's today. That brought me here.

Still sing this in my car with my daughter's singing along to it since they little...

He gave his love a cherry, that had no stone

Melancholy seldom sounded so mellow, feel like i am an an island trying to find the meaning to being.

I am in love with this song. I've not heard my favorite song in YEARS, one from an era when music had a meaning, and a story, not lyrics or melody that sounded void of any real meaning. This will always be one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing

Am 61 yrs old he's still my idol..

Great standard. Bishop Rocks...

Every time scarcity hits me, I just listen to this song.

Always loved this song and went looking for or. All I could remember was that a ladder was mentioned in it! ❤️

Love you for this Stephen Bishop

What a lovely, soothing and sad song ... Have always loved listening to this song, ever since I first heard it on the radio in 1976 , when I was a student in the UK. Now back in sunny, tropical Malaysia. 🌞

Heard this tune while watching Family Guy. Peter and the big Chicken were racing!😂 iykyk

Singing my life with his song. Thanks, Mr. Bishop.

✌️

Soothing song!

🇯🇲 Down in Jamaica They go lots of pretty women Steal your money Then they break your heart Lonesome Sue, she's in love with old Sam Take him from the fire into the frying pan On and on She just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, on and on, on and on Poor old Jimmy Sits alone in the moonlight Saw his woman kiss another man So he takes a ladder Steals the stars from the sky Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry On and on He just keeps on trying And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, on and on, on and on When the first time is the last time Can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight Don't let her say goodnight Got the sun on my shoulders And my toes in the sand Woman's left me for the some other man Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan Toss up my heart and see where it lands On and on I just keep on trying And I smile when I feel like dying On and on, on and on, on and on On and on, on and on, on and on On and on, on and on, on and on, ooh Songwriters: Stephen Bishop

beautiful song

Still holds up.

classic

This song reminds me of the extinct creatures Prorastomus and Piligrimella, both lived 50 million years ago and were the ancestors of the sea cow and elephant, respectively!!!!😂❤😊

Those were the days oh yeah ,great music and good times not like today ,too much to mention just watch the news people lost their minds craziness everywhere 🤨

One of "yacht rock's" finest.

80's Memories

The fact that American idol offered just $500 to use this song is a disgrace

世間を騒がせると必ず天罰が下る

On and off. Don’t let the bedbugs bite.

This calms my heart and soul everytime I hear this. Scaping from this sad reality ain’t easy but with a good music like this, everything seems nice.

the tiktok was effective marketing

Who’s here from the wife’s TikTok?

NE AND MY GO ON & ON

カマラを叩き落とすためです

Damn! I really like the sweet melody of this song. But I just can't grasp the meaning of these lyrics, such as "take him from the fire into the frying pan," or "steals the stars form the sky. "Somebody please explain to me.

まずは誰も知らないんだ

I love the musical beauty of this song so much. The lyrics don't exactly shine a flattering light on women though, LOL.

クサカ中学の、ノブモト？だかなんかが、佐川に入っていました

I am trying to understand how come Jamaican ladies are not getting upset about the lyric?

Why would American Idol want to use this song? Their target audience isn't 60-80.

Who else was brought here by the giant chicken? Family guy never fails

Boy they compress the shit out of music when it digitized. I own this 45 and so much is missing ing the background. I do feel sorry for you kids. You think you get clear sound but your actually getting less

For fuck sake.... LithuaniaHQ bought noname songs in 2019 just to upload on their YT channel the song for 2000 Euro ~2200 usd. But these song were not hit songs. And the creator also got money after views.

Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women. I'm sorry but there are NO pretty women in Jamaica unless they're visiting

Det real pain musik

This is so gentle

A modern day saloon song....set in the tropics somewhere with rum in your drink and a tear in your eye. Sinatra would be proud, especially since you mentioned him in the song. Love this song and others by Bishop because I feel he lived these experiences lyricized in many of his songs.

Classic song.
