Yesterday

Yesterday when we were two There was not quite as much to do Now today that we are three The washing’s piling up you see Tomorrow when we will be four It will pile up a whole lot more Those tiny hands and tiny feet Make time to have a faster beat There’s no time to sit and think As washing piles up in the sink The days they go a rushing by Just like the blinking of an eye I know you wouldn’t change the way That we are living here today For empty house that’s void of noise And mess and clothes and strewn toys No sound of laughter in the air Would make our lives so dull and bare I thank you dear for all you do The washing cooking and cleaning too Through all the chores you do all day With little thanks and sod all pay You can still find time to smile That’s what makes my life worthwhile
