I know we got some history
We got some issues that we need to solve
But is it really such a mystery?
Itīs just the way that the world evolves
Let me ask your forgiveness baby
My heart is ever full of sorrow
We got to move into the future maybe
And think about a new tomorrow
She said you know I used to love you baby
But youīre thinking way too fast
So forget about the future
And letīs get on with the past
So they called a īnited nations summit
To negotiate for peace on earth
And it may be idealistic baby
But I know what peace of mind is worth
Everybody aired their grievances
And they threw away the suture
They opened up all the wounds of the past
As they failed to find their way to the future
They said weīd better check the weather chart
Before we tie our colors to this mast
Itīs just too hard thinking about the future baby
So letīs just get on with the past
She said weīd better check the horoscope honey
Just in case this feeling wasnīt meant to last
Itīs just too hard thinking about the future
So letīs just get on with the past
How many times you ever hear me say
Iīm as flawed as any other human being?
There simply has to be a different way
And a whole new way of seeing
Are we doomed by all our history?
Is our love really beyond repair?
Itīs getting close to midnight baby
And we ainīt got time to spare
Just when I think Iīm home and dry
And sheīs given up the fight
Thereīs an unmistakable optimism
In romantic music and candlelight
Thereīs this lingering perfume
The merest ghost of the past
She says wait a minute baby
Youīre moving way too fast
Weīd better check the weather chart
Before we raise this mast
Weīd best consult our horoscope
In case this feeling wasnīt meant to last
Letīs just forget about the future
And get on with the past
