Yesterday's

My tomorrow's are empty without you 
our yesterday's were filled with joy. 
Now I can only start each day 
with only memories to fill the void. 

Our favourite song will play on forever 
the music will never die. 
A sweet refrain will always remain 
no more tears no more goodbyes. 

I know some day we'll meet again 
for heaven's not that far away. 
No more will we be parted 
for in heaven there's no yesterday's. 

So when my day starts without you 
i will be comforted by my dreams. 
And feel the warmth of our yesterday's 
while remembering how life used to be.
