Just Yesterday
Listening to an old album
Her face flashed across his mind
It was the music
That brought her back to life
Suddenly
Just for a brief moment
It was 1969 all over again
He could see her
As clearly as life itself
Remembering the only time
They made love
As he quietly cursed himself
For letting her go
Back then
She was just like him
Making a living
As an entertainer
In those days
He loved to hear her sing
She was a friend
As well as a performer
With the voice of an angel
And although many years
Had come and gone
Time is a chasm
That grows wider
With each passing day
But on this day
The music from the radio
Ignited his memories of her
With his eyes closed
He quietly recalled
The sweetness of a young love
Remembering how it was
Over forty years ago
As though it was just like
Yesterday
