Leave the Past in the Past

Life is like a candle

It burns out way too fast

And we've had all we can handle

So tonight let's just dance

And who knows what we might find

If we surrender heart and mind

Stay here with me, make this moment last

Let's just leave the past in the past

We can move the chairs from the kitchen

Make our own dance floor

Play the best love songs ever written

'Til our hearts can take no more

And who knows what we might find

If we surrender heart and mind

Stay here with me, make this moment last

Let's just leave the past in the past

There's no future in what's gone on before

So let's not give our past one minute more

And who knows what we might find

If we surrender heart and mind

Stay here with me, make this moment last

And who knows what we might find

If we surrender heart and mind

Just stay with me, make this moment last

Let's just leave the past in the past

Leave it in the past, darling

Leave it in the past

And let's just dance, honey

That's all that I ask

Ooh, ooh, whoa, whoa
