Forget About The Future - Sting

Written by：sting

I know we got some history

We got some issues that we need to solve

 

But is it really such a mystery

It's 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 you're thinking way too fast

 

So forget about the future

 

And let's 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 we'd better check the weather chart

 

Before we tie our colors to this mast

 

It's just too hard thinking about the future baby

 

So let's just get on with the past

 

She said we'd better check the horoscope honey

 

Just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last

 

It's just too hard thinking about the future

 

So let's just get on with the past

 

How many times you ever hear me say

I'm 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

 

It's getting close to midnight baby

And we ain't got time to spare

 

Just when I think I'm home and dry

And she's given up the fight

 

There's an unmistakable optimism

 

In romantic music and candlelight

 

There's this lingering perfume

The merest ghost of the past

 

She says wait a minute baby

 

You're moving way too fast

We'd better check the weather chart

 

Before we raise this mast

We'd best consult our horoscope

In case this feeling wasn't meant to last

Let's just forget about the future

 

And get on with the past

 

And man the future

 

And get on with the past

 

There mam There man There man

The future

 

Let's get on with the past

 

Let's get on with the past

 

Get on with the past

 

Let's get on with the past
