Don’t Stop Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lindsey Buckingham]
If you wake up and don't wanna smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
[Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie]
Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
[Verse 2: Christine McVie]
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
[Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie]
Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3: Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie]
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
[Chorus: Both, Lindsey Buckingham]
Don't stop thinkin' 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 thinkin' about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
[Outro: Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie]
Ooh, don't you look back
Ooh, don't you look back
Ooh, don't you look back
Ooh, don't you look back

‘Don’t Stop’ was just a feeling. It just seemed to be a pleasant revelation to have that ‘yesterday’s gone’. It might have, I guess, been directed more toward John, but I’m just definitely not a pessimist.
What has producer Kevin Caillat said about the song?
Caillat told Music Radar:
I never really liked this song. It was the first shuffle I ever worked on. I didn’t like the drum sound, either – maybe it’s because it started out kind of slow. This was Christine’s song, and she loved it, so that’s all that matters. What did improve it dramatically was w...
