No Turning Back

Burning Bridges from Kelly’s Heroes sung by the Mike Curb Singers Friends all tried to warn me But I held my head up high All the time they warned me But I only passed them by They all tried to tell me But I guess I didn't care I turned my back and Left them standing there All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore Joey tried to help me find a job A while ago When I finally got it I didn't want to go The party Mary gave for me When I just walked away Now there's nothing left for me to say All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore Years have passed and I keep thinking What a fool I've been I look back into the past and Think of way back then I know that I lost everything I thought I that could win I guess I should have listened to my friends All the burning bridges that have fallen after me All the lonely feelings and the burning memories Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door Burning bridges lost forevermore Burning bridges lost forevermore No Turning Back In another world, another time we would still be friends. In this world, in this time we have burned our bridges. There is no going back. We have nothing to share. Our ties are cut. Let’s move on. No remorse, no second thoughts. We were close, but no more. The world has changed and so have we. Our paths can’t cross again. It is time we both admitted our burned bridges are lost forever more.

a nice poem. i think we can forgive some one and still move on. i was friends with someone 10 years from northern ireland on the phone chatting 3 or 4 times a day but now we like strangers and only chat every ten days or so. it will never be the same but they know there is no going back. that ship has already sailed. they on about moving to scotland or here in uk but it wont be with me. God gave them the oppertinity but did not take it so its to late now. better and grater things await. Amen

Thanks Diane. I agree. I have had some issues with some people in my distant past that I have forgiven gut not necessarily want to see. You are right better and greater things await. God Bless
