Yesterday
Yesterday when I was young
a life full of delight
we ran and played
in fields and streams
for morning till last light
yesterday when I was young
a life that’s full of wonder
of birds and bees
and apple trees
and even scary thunder
yesterday when I was young
we sometimes went to school
but could not wait
for the final bell
so we could act the fool
yesterday when I was young
the family was quite large
the clothes and toys
had to be shared
or you’d answer to those in charge
yesterday when I was young
we didn’t have much money
but life it seemed much simpler then
and definitely a lot more funny
