Memories of Our Yesterdays
Yesterday has come and gone,
the years have flown.
If only we could have known –
how quickly things would change.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
Now we two are still dreaming together,
but our hair is sprinkled with silver.
Many seasons have come and gone –
but our love still goes on.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
Sitting by golden candlelight,
sipping mellow wine,
music plays so softly
and you sigh as we go dancing.
Outside the full moon,
was always right for romancing.
Come take my hand,
as we sway to the music.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
But the Beatles can get us moving
and Springsteen sends us grooving.
These can roll back the years
and dry all the tears.
Together we forget all of our fears,
remembering that when we met,
we were once two strangers in the night,
for each other so right.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
So time hasn’t taken so much,
we still can look back at the yesterday that was
and laugh at how it all seemed so easy –
for just you and me.
How wonderful it is,
in love to always be.
You for me and me for you,
through all the years that go by.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
As the sands of time keep flowing,
it’s in the knowing –
that we’re still young and strong
and yesterday isn’t far behind.
Our dreams are still the same,
I hear you call my name
and love fills my heart,
like it was right from the start.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
Late in the night,
we still find wonders
and we come together –
sending fireworks into the sky.
So on we go,
smiling and misty eyed.
Kisses still full of passion,
our love still in fashion.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
So we continue on
and look toward the skies,
that sent our fates clashing together –
like large ships across the ocean.
Through all the seasons,
together we’ll be.
Hand in hand,
as down life’s road we travel.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
We haven’t gone too far,
there’s still a lot ahead.
A smile for a smile, a kiss for a kiss –
there’s nothing we have missed.
No matter what else life brings,
the bell for us still rings.
Love for us has never tarnished,
still shining as bright as it once did before.
There was you and there was me,
there was yesterday and we two,
the stars were bright in the sky
and we still had golden dreams.
