Lyrics
Excuse it if I’m lyrical, but the past is just passé ;
The future is the miracle, the future’s here to stay!
Electric light by Edison! Marconi’s wireless wave!
The sulfa drugs in medicine! The safety razor shave!
It all sounds so mechanical, this dream that you adore;
Machines can be tyrannical and what’s more,
The thing that seems to bother me
Is how much happiness will there be.

CHORUS
Think of trains with the speed of lightning!
Oh it all sounds rather fright’ning,
But I shall not mind those trains
If love remains.
Think of planes and the horseless carriage!
Will there still be love and marriage?
I won’t mind those cars and planes
If love remains.
Oh, the future looks bewild’rin’,
All the shapes of things to be!
But so long as there are homes and flowers and children,
The future is all right with me.
Think of talkies and television,
In my heart there’s one decision:
I don’t care what the future contains
If love remains,
If there’s someone to love
And love remains.
