Piano by Bronwen Murray-Berg
We'll never be able to break the spell
The magic will hold us still
Sometimes we may pretend to forget
But of course, we never will
Those perfect years, perhaps there'll be more
Life's only beginning, you know.
Oh yes, it's not that I want to stay
It's just that I don't want to go
We musn't look back. No, we musn't look back
Whatever our memories are
We musn't say these are our happiest days
But our happiest days so far
If I start looking behind me
And being retracing my track
I'll remind you to remind me
We said we wouldn't look back
And if you should happen to find me
With an outlook dreary and black
I'll remind you to remind me
We said we wouldn't look back
It's hard to forget the plays, the socials
The walks round the school in the spring
The staff we placated, the lessons we missed
But soon it won't mean a thing
So if I let nostalgia blind me
And my resolution is slack
I'll remind you to remind me
We said we wouldn't look back
We've broken the ties, we've said the goodbyes
There's no more for us to pack
Don't turn round, we're outward bound
And we've said we wouldn't look back
We said we wouldn't look back
