There's so many things we'd change if we lived our lives again
So many things we would and would not do
All the past mistakes we've made and the price that we have paid
Oh how we'd live if we could start anew

But there's no going back and we can't change the past
Or turn back the hands of time
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
And I know that only this moment is mine

There are things we'd never tried and tears we'd never cried
If we had known the hill was far too steep
We'd have never tumbled down or fallen in and drowned
If we had known the river was so deep

But there's no going back and we can't change the past
Or turn back the hands of time
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
And I know that only this moment is mine

So it's best if we forget the things we now regret
For we cannot go back and change the past
Let us use those old mistakes, a better life to make
And tomorrow we may find that dream at last

For there's no going back and we can't change the past
Or turn back the hands of time
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
And I know that only this moment is mine

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
And I know that only this moment is mine
