How many of you

people out there

been hurt in some

kind of love affair?

And how many times

did you swear

that you'd never

love again?

How many lonely,

sleepless nights?

How many lies,

how many fights?

And why would

you want to

put yourself

through all

of that again?

"Love is pain,"

I hear you say

Love has a cruel

and bitter way of

paying you back

For all the faith

you ever had

in your brain

How could it be that

what you need the

most can leave

you feeling just

like a ghost?

You never want

to feel so sad

and lost again

One day you

could be looking

through an old book

in rainy weather

You see a picture

of her smiling

at you

When you were

still together

Or you could

be walking

down the street

And who should

you chance to meet

But that same old

smile you've been

thinking of all day?

Why don't we turn

the clock to

zero, honey

I'll sell the stock,

we'll spend all

the money

We're starting up

a brand new day

Turn the clock

all the way back

I wonder if she'll

take me back

I'm thinking in

a brand new way

Turn the clock

to zero, sister

You'll never know

how much

I missed her

I'm starting up

a brand new day

Turn the clock

to zero, boss

The river's wide,

we'll swim across

We're starting up

a brand new day

It could happen

to you

Just like it

happened to me

There's simply

no immunity

There's no

guarantee

I say love's such

a force if you find

yourself in it

You need some

time for reflection

Baby

wait a minute,

wait a minute

Wait a minute,

wait a minute

Wait a minute,

wait a minute

Turn the clock

to zero, honey

I'll sell the stock,

we'll spend

all the money

We're starting up

a brand new day

Turn the clock

to zero, Mac

I'm begging her

to take me back

I'm thinking in

a brand new way

Turn the clock

to zero, boss

The river's wide,

we'll swim across

We're starting up

a brand new day

Turn the clock

to zero buddy

Don't wanna be

no fuddy duddy

Starting up a

brand new day

I'm the rhythm

in your tune

I'm the sun and

you're the moon

I'm the bat and

you're the cave

You're the beach

and I'm the wave

I'm the plough and

you're the land

You're the glove

and I'm the hand

I'm the train and

you're the station

I'm a flagpole to

your nation

I'm the present

to your future

You're the wound

and I'm the suture

You're the magnet

to my pole

I'm the devil

in your soul

You're the pupil

I'm the teacher

You're the church

and I'm the

preacher

You're the flower

I'm the rain

You're the tunnel

I'm the train

Stand up all

you lovers

in the world

Stand up and

be counted

every boy

and every girl

Stand up

all you lovers

in the world

Starting up a

brand new day

You're the crop

in my rotation

You're the sum

of my equation

I'm the answer

to your question

If you follow

my suggestion

We can turn

this ship around

We'll go up

instead of down

You're the pan

and I'm the handle

You're the flame

and I'm the candle

Stand up all you

lovers in the world

Stand up and

be counted

every boy

and every girl

Stand up

all you lovers

in the world

We're starting

up a

brand new day
