Time moves like a river You can either sink or swim And a wise man learns to forgive her For all she's done to him And no one's getting younger And a few aren't getting old It's all in what you feel And not in what you're told Oh you can't go back to Kansas I was there just yesterday Oh you can't go back to Kansas It just up and blew away Oh, but I will go on loving you It's easier that way But you can't go back to Kansas 'Cause that was yesterday I see the sun rise and fall I can feel the earth beneath my shoes There's no need in you believing That you were born and cursed to lose So why not go on dreaming then Yeah, take anyone you choose There's nothing to be down about 'Cause you either win or lose Oh, I can't go back to Kansas I was there just yesterday Oh, I can't go back to Kansas It just up and blew away So I will go on loving you It's easier that way But you can't go back to Kansas 'Cause that was yesterday
