Starting today I'm teaching my heart Not to ache anymore Just 'cause we're apart No more will I dream Of your sweet loving ways Gonna learn to forget you Starting today And when memories haunt me And the tears starts to flow I'll just think of the sorrow You caused me to know No more for the past To return will I pray Gonna live for tomorrow Starting today Starting today
