Lyrics Brand New Day (My Songs Version) - Sting

(Brand new day)

How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
Well, why would you wanna put yourself through all that again?

Love is pain, I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of payin' 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 wanna feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be lookin'
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smilin' at you
When you were still together
You could be walkin' down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile you've been thinkin' 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 startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinkin' in a brand new way (brand new day)

'Cause I turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
I'm startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across it
We'll startin' up a brand new day (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 is such a force if you find yourself in it, babe
Need some time for reflection you say
Baby, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute

Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey?
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)
Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm beggin' her to take me back, I'm
I'm thinkin' in a brand new way (brand new day)

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across it
Startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)
Turn the clock to zero, buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy-duddy
We're startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm a wave (it's a brand new day)
I'm the plow 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 (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Stand up

Stand up

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 (stand up)
You're the pupil, I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher (it's a brand new day)
You're the flower, I'm the rain
You're the tunnel, I'm the train (brand new day)

Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah (Iit's a brand new day)
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl (brand new day)
Stand up all you lovers in the world, yeah-yeah (it's a brand new day)
We're startin' up a brand new day (brand new day)

Stand up
