Looking Forward Looking Back © John Johns 2008

The scene out of my window is the same as every day * I recall the faces as I see the places where we used to play * There's my posters - there's my music * Some trophies that I won * Surrounded by familiar things whose time has come and gone *

Chorus: Just a few last things to pack * Looking forward looking back * Just an hour now * Just an hour now - Just an hour now * In just an hour now - I'll be on my way *

It's not goodbye it's just so-long until we meet once more * When I come back again it won't be the same as it always was before * More than - just a visitor, or dearest special friend * This family at the heart of me, has come to an end *

Chorus

They'll leave me at the airport, when we've said our last goodbyes * We'll go our separate ways then with the tears still in our eyes * My future - is all mine now * And I'll make it on my own * A last look from my window, 'cos today I'm leaving home *

Chorus 'Cos I'm leaving home today
