Len Barry - The Moving Finger Writes lyrics

rate me

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

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

fade
