It Seems Just Yesterday

It seems just yesterday
that I was fair and pretty
today I look in the mirror 
and see an old biddy

It seems just yesterday
that I had long golden curls
today I look in the mirror
and see only white, wispy, whirls

It seems just yesterday
that I was delicate and young
today I look in the mirror 
and it seems that I was wrong
