Visiting my sister Barbara, in Atlanta, and she and I were discussing some things that happened to us in our past. We decided we had to quit focusing on the past and get on with our lives! We set down and started writing this song at that moment!
Turn Our Back on the Past © Jan 2006, Rebecca Dale Peaden/Barbara J. Patterson /Marchetti Chorus: Let's turn our back on the past Had enough pain to last With a lifetime of heartaches From now on we're going to celebrate Cause life moves so dog gone fast Let's turn our back on the past V1 Everyone has a story They can use as an excuse Didn't have the same chances or suffered some type of abuse gotta look to the future forget about history get on with your life It's a lovely mystery Chorus: Let's turn our back on the past Had enough pain to last With a lifetime of heartaches From now on we're going to celebrate Cause life moves so dog gone fast Let's turn our back on the past V2 Lots of valleys in life But hold on for the hilltops Where you can touch the sky And taste the cool raindrops With the sun peeking thru The pale windswept billows smell the fresh damp earth Thru your open window Chorus: Let's turn our back on the past Had enough pain to last With a lifetime of heartaches From now on we're going to celebrate Cause life moves so dog gone fast Let's turn our back on the past
