Let Bygones Be Bygones Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Why not let bygones be bygones
What do you say?
Why let a difference of opinion get in our way
We both seem to think that
It′s the other who's to blame
And unless we can agree some form of closure
How can we as friends remain?

Why not let bygones be bygones
Look at us now
Having a minor spat between us go way beyond a row
Friends think we′re crazy
Letting this go on's insane
And if a line can not be drawn under it surely
Only way to ease the pain
Let bygones be bygones
What do you say?


I feel for a child in a burnt out home
Looking on in despair
What a wonderful world, it would only be
If children were happy there

We all have those moments
When we need to let off steam
Whether that's because of what someone has called you
That or what they say you′re being

Why not let bygones be bygones, and if you can
If there′s a lesson to come out of this, where does it stand?
We're both of the opinion
There′s a principle at stake
But what good is that if all it does is leave you
Knowing what price we'll pay?
Yes, what good is that if all it does is leave you
Knowing what price we′ll pay?

Let bygones be bygones
Let bygones be bygones
Let bygones be bygones
What do you say?
