Let's Go Back To Yesterday

There's a chill in tonight's air That was never there before I heard that he's back in town And came knockin' on your door Maybe Winter's comin' soon Summer's gone and gone to stay Am I bound to be alone Have I seen the sun's last ray I still love you and you must know I'll need you more tomorrow Let the past stay in its grave Don't leave me with this sorrow Still I feel this cold night air Can I love it all away Let's pretend he never came And go back to yesterday Still I feel this cold night air Can I love it all away Let's pretend he never came And go back to yesterday Let's pretend he never came And go back to yesterday 6/18/2017 For contest Write A Love Song for John Hamilton -------------------------------------------------------------------- Taken from Willie Nelson's "Help Me Make It Through The Night" as follows: Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Playing soft against your skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm taking is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care if it's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow 'Cause tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight I don't wanna be alone Help me make it through the night I don't wanna be alone Help me make it through the night
