Musical Performances I Like – Fleetwood Mac ‘Don’t Stop’

Fleetwood Mac is a British/American rock band named after drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. ‘Don’t Stop’ was written by vocalist and keyboardist Christine McVie in 1977.

Here they are accompanied by the USC marching band. I like the end.

Lyrics at end

If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Why not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you’ve done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don’t believe that it’s true
I never meant any harm to you

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Don’t you look back
(Ooh)
Don’t you look back
(Ooh)
Don’t you look back
