Dreams of Yesterday Broken Hearts of Today

Funny looking back on the past to see
How we all once were
And who we were wanting to be
It's all so damn clear again
Not any longer is it a distant blur
Those memories are now awakened and causing quite a stir
Moments that are etched forever in time
And in my mind
Loving you well then it was my only crime
The tings we said to each other
The promises that were made
You holding me as right there next to you I laid
Who would have guessed that when we opened our eyes several years would 
come to pass
Gone away in the blink of an eye, gone away all to fast
Guess we had to sometime back then say goodbye
But did we really even try
And now I know we each feel and understand how we felt and still feel now even 
more
Than we ever had been able to before
I found you can't push them down you just can't control
Those feelings will haunt you they won't let you go
So now tell me please let me know
Can you really look deep into her eyes as you once looked into mine
And completely hand over give to her your soul
Or do you long for someone else to have and hold
You and I have never been able to let each other go
What we feel still runs deep never has it ever run cold
You know you do still wrestle with those emotions, yes I know
I've to been there with these feelings I have for you
But once I let the fight go
I realized what had always been right there in front of my face
No other man could ever take your place
There you are running away from me again
Hurry I'm still right there behind you so you need to pick up your pace
You can't face me you don't know exactly what to say
So we keep right on living without each other because right now to be back 
together well there's just no way
All we have for the moment to hold on tightly to are 
Dreams of yesterday
Broken hearts of today
