It Seems Like Only Yesterday
It seems like only yesterday . . .
The first time I flew in a plane.
Was over San Francisco Bay;
I felt I’d left the Earth’s domain.
The first time I flew in a plane
I soared into bright heaven’s skies.
I felt I’d left the Earth’s domain,
To see the world through cosmic eyes.
I soared into bright heaven’s skies,
The world below looked, oh-so small.
To see the world through cosmic eyes
Was beautiful, as I recall.
The world below looked, oh-so small—
And even the suburban sprawl
Was beautiful, as I recall;
So beautiful, as I recall.
