You Can Only Learn From The Past

Regrets seem such a waste of time or lamenting what might have been
The one who is twenty today can never again be nineteen
Your biological clock ticking on and fleeting has been your life's prime
And yesterday to forever has gone we cannot turn back the hands of time.

You can only learn from the past the past that to forever has gone
We can only live in today old father time is ticking on
You should make the most of each day you seem far too young for regret
More opportunities will come your way many good days ahead of you yet.

Why waste your time in lamenting the past tomorrow is another day
The clock on our lives it ticks on and keeps ticking and ticking away
The one you love is with another and about it nothing you can do
She has gone from you and won't be back the fact is she did not love you.

Sad songs of unrequited love one does hear the balladeer sing
But thinking about what might have been one more sadness to you does bring
The one you love to another makes love and you cannot hope to change the past
Love's feelings must be felt by two one sided love never does last.
