Yesterday
Yesterday when the sky was young and
All the clouds were cotton candy strung
My memories take me back to a place where
Troubles skipped over ponds so clear
Seemed like just a ripple in time
So much more those ripples passing through my mind
Far from those ripples now
Away from where those youthful winds did blow
Now I watch as the clouds sail by
It seems my cotton candy clouds away did fly
Looks like they've turned to marshmallows now
As the winds of time continue to flow
Though the hands of time are fixed in place
They're apt to flex in reminiscent's grace
Here they'll float across the mind like clouds
To rest where memories are bestowed, and
Stay within the heart , adored
Oh how the time does fly away
I see its flight in clouds of gray, where I
Believe the winds of time do sway.
In time all our tomorrows will turn to
Yesterday, where all those cotton candy clouds do play
