I know we got some history
We got some issues that we need to solve
But is it really such a mystery?
Its 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 youre thinking way too fast
So forget about the future
And lets get on with the past
So they called a nited 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 wed better check the weather chart
Before we tie our colors to this mast
Its just too hard thinking about the future baby
So lets just get on with the past
She said wed better check the horoscope honey
Just in case this feeling wasnt meant to last
Its just too hard thinking about the future
So lets just get on with the past
How many times you ever hear me say
Im 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?
Its getting close to midnight baby
And we aint got time to spare
Just when I think Im home and dry
And shes given up the fight
Theres an unmistakable optimism
In romantic music and candlelight
Theres this lingering perfume
The merest ghost of the past
She says wait a minute baby
Youre moving way too fast
Wed better check the weather chart
Before we raise this mast
Wed best consult our horoscope
In case this feeling wasnt meant to last
Lets just forget about the future
And get on with the past
