Why Cling To The Past

Why cling to the past when the past is gone forever and why hold on to a bad memory
What happened last year cannot be put right now the better day we only live to see
The money that you've lost you may not win back It's easier to lose than it's to win
Still the champion boxer always comes back fighting at one hard punch he never does give in.

You say last week for you was quite a bad week but the bad times like the good times do not last
But forget last week as last week is gone forever and remember that we cannot change the past
We waste far too much time in saying 'if only' still we cannot change what happened yesterday
Few wish to know about your hard luck stories that's how life is and it's always been that way.

For most people life is an uphill struggle except of course for the privileged few
And mind thyself the unwritten commandment in any case so happens to be true
When you are down few seem to wish to know you and they do not wish to hear of the bad times you have known
They too like you fight the great uphill battle and they too have big troubles of their own.

Why cling to the past if it only makes you unhappy a new beginning starts with each new day
Few wish to hear about your hard luck stories we have our troubles too you hear them say
The money you have lost is gone forever and worrying about it only cause you stress
And those who laugh find everyone laughs with them and you too can create your own happiness.
