Nat King Cole: Don't look back

Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back) Yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody But they can't seem to see the forest for the trees, we just can't let our past Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when its all over but the shouting Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit of happiness Now I know that its really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back) No, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead You can't lose with the stuff you use, we've come too far just to turn around, oh, oh, Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back) Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fighting, people, a quitter never wins Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten, start again, don't you look back No, no, uh, oh, (don't look back) no 'cause we've come much too far Just to turn around, uh, oh, oh, (repeat don't you look back) don't you look back now Yesterday is dead and gone, don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today And when you're crying, 'cause all your friends have forsaken you Its not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat start again Keep on steppin' yaul, don't look back, don't turn your head around Get up, get out on the good foot, keep on fightin,' yeah, hold your breath Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again don't try it You got to keep on movin' yaul, get, get, get up on the good foot
