Whoa tell me, tell me
That the goodness will last
All of those hard times will soon come to pass
Life's so sweet but goes by so fast
And yes, the past is the past

Settling down seems like the right thing to do
But when and with whom? Another day's through
It takes patience, luck and good timing too
And then the next thing they knew
There was only two

Whoa tell me, tell me
That the goodness will last
All of those hard times will soon come to pass
Life's so sweet but goes by so fast
And yes, the past is the past

Suddenly somehow there's a new take on life
The obstacle's nice but they start to think twice
Out the back, footsteps ring in the night
Then they're coming home something just don't feel right

Whoa tell me, tell me
That the goodness will last
All of those hard times will soon come to pass
Life's so sweet but goes by so fast
And yes, the past is the past
