Don’t look back
You might see sadness
Through the gaps
Of wine and roses
Come to me
And rest your shoulders
Let the world do
What it wants to now

Time is tough
It waits for no-one
Come tomorrow
It won’t know you
Rest your head
Against my body
Let the world do
What it wants to now


And tears won’t fill the Mississippi
And seas won’t wave goodbye
You and I we’re sitting pretty
Let it all pass by
Pass by


Then tomorrow
You’ll see something
Through the gaps
Of last year’s sorrows
Look ahead
It’s not all broken
Let the world do
What it wants to now
