Yesterday

My heart was young, my soul was new 
Before, I spread my wings and flew 
My heart was so soft and tender 
Charmed by the flicker of her ember 

Our days were glory, like heaven 
We had some odds, but most were even 
We rode the way to paradise 
We laid the cards and flicked the dice 

We climbed the stairways to the skies 
We sang some love songs and lullabies 
But then one day, she drifted away 
She left a sore from my yesterday 

I wish the day that she'll come back 
To help me get back to my track 
My world is empty in her absence 
For her presence is my essence
