This song means that she will continue to love him forever, regardless of the circumstances or outcomes. "Go on" does mean continuity or persevering. In American English, we typically use "move on" or "carry on," but "go on" does work. Ex: I will go on from this tragedy and learn from it. Ex: Long after humans are gone, nature will continue to go on.
