Len Barry The Moving Finger Writes
Oh the moving finger writes
Having written, then moves on
Which means a brand new life
Comes along with each new dawn
Yes the moving finger writes
So as every day goes by (forget the hurt)
Take the hurt that’s in your heart
And leave it all behind
‘Cos tomorrow is another day
And your sorrows might just fade away
Oh tomorrow is another chance
And a clean start
And a new romance
Today is history
Don’t let it give you misery
Forget it; just remember me
I said it
That the moving finger writes
Having written, then moves on
Which means what’s done is done
‘Cos today’s forever gone
Yes the moving finger writes
And another day is through (It’s over)
Your heart is hurt tonight
Don’t let it worry you
‘Cos tomorrow might be out of sight
And your sorrows might just end tonight
Oh tomorrow possibly could bring
A new love and a wedding ring
Today is history
Don’t let it give you misery
Forget it; just remember me
I said it
Uniquely pitched instrumental bridge
‘Cos tomorrow is another day
And your sorrows might just fade away
Oh tomorrow is another chance
And a new love
And a new romance
Today is history
Don’t let it give you misery
Forget it; just remember me
I said it
‘Cos Tomorrow is another day (I know)
And your sorrows might just fade away (I never ever)
Oh tomorrow is another chance
And a new love
And a new romance
(Looking forward to)
Tomorrow (keeping my hopes up)
Is another day (got to keep your hopes up)
And your sorrows might just fade away
(‘Cos it’s coming my way)
Might just fade away
