Burt Bacharach
A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing
[MARGE]
Oh, a fact can be a beautiful thing
When the fact I am facing is you
[CHUCK]
A fact can be a terrible thing
When the dreams you've been dreaming fall through
[MARGE & CHUCK]
Forget the past
And think about the present
Right now is everything
Forget the past
And think about the present
[CHUCK]
The present's very pleasant
[MARGE & CHUCK]
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Because it's Christmas
Not the time to be alone with memories
Christmas
It's supposed to be a happy holiday
Throw a little joy my way
[MARGE]
You could really make my day
[CHUCK]
Throw a little joy my way
[MARGE]
And a fact can be a beautiful thing
When I see what I'm seeing in you
[CHUCK]
A fact can be a beautiful thing
When your hopes to be happy come true
[MARGE & CHUCK]
What's gone is gone
And don't you ever doubt it
Wake up and start to live
What's gone is gone
So learn to do without it
[CHUCK]
And never think about it
[MARGE & CHUCK]
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Because it's Christmas
Not the time to be alone with memories
Christmas
It's supposed to be a happy holiday
Throw a little joy my way
[MARGE]
Do we really have to stay?
[CHUCK]
Throw a little joy my way
[ENSEMBLE]
Forget the past
And think about the present
Right now is everything
Forget the past
And think about the present
The present's very pleasant
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Forget the past
And think about the present
Right now is everything
Forget the past
And think about the present
The present's very pleasant
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
