Yesterday
Yesterday I saw the sun shine upon you face
You were young
So was I
We vowed to love each other to the day we die
Life was hard
And at times we were disillusioned
The price of love
Was so great
And we were set asunder
By fate
Until it was too late
You got married
And may be tarried
On the way to the place we called home
But life was unfair
Beyond what I could bear
And the memories of me fade away
Gone with the wind
Like a candle in the storm
At night there was nobody to keep me warm
In the day
Phantoms of old hunted me
I was a prisoner in your dungeon
For every single day
I prayed to my God
to see you again
I remembered your laughter in the dead of the night
How we used to play and sometimes we fight
That was yesterday
Because I no longer see your beautiful face
Or feeling the tenderness of your skin
I can only hear your voice in the wind
Like Deja vu
In places I have never been
I am as gray as the sun
I have seen many a good day
How I wished you have stayed
Oh I prayed
To the good Lord
That was yesterday and this is today
We keep on forgetting the past each day
Everyone will also be a thing of the past
And we shall rest in peace from all the troubles of the world at last
