Memory of Yesterday

A memory of yesterday
When kisses weren’t that far away
And all was made for lovers’ play
We knew our dreams would never stray

And every star had you in sight
Those moonbeams were for our delight
And reasons were to hold you tight
Another kiss a long good night

We walked through all our yesterday
We saw no end to our delight
To every hope we held so tight
And from this love we’d never stray

Yet time did come to blur our sight
And tried to mask our dreams away
A fantasy of truth at play
Which cast two lovers into night

It seemed so clear why did we stray
Perhaps it wasn’t in our play
From here it all seems far away
A memory of yesterday
