Yesterday There Was Love

(25 second instrumental . . .) Yesterday there was love Your eyes blue as the sea Yesterday there was love Full of sweet happy glee Each day was divine To guard and hold dear And to treasure for all time And then you left me Your soul was set free Yesterday there was love Oh now I dream of you every night And I face this world in fear Has it really been a year Yesterday there was love It was a one time love thing Now memories I cling Yesterday there was love Everyday is a tear Oh now I dream of you every night And I face this world in fear Has it really been a year Yesterday there was love It was a one time love thing Now memories cling Yesterday there was love And then you left me (25 seconds instrumental to fade) __________________________ October 24, 2022 Poetry/Free Verse/Yesterday There Was Love Copyright Protected, ID 10-1496-667-24 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Inspired By A Song (Once There Was A Love) sponsor, JCB Brul, Judged 11/11/2022 First Place
