Yesterday's Dreams

Sometimes I'll close my eyes And go back to yesterday's dreams Where love had no disguise A simpler life it seems Men working in the mines Mother's making quilts with yarns Red Man chewing tobacco signs Painted on the sides of barns A quiet ride through the countryside On a Sunday afternoon Couldn't bring them back if we tried Those days went by too soon I can hear my Mother calling Hey Vince, go find Joe and John Dad's going to be coming home And I'm putting supper on Playing Wiffle ball in an old lot Free movies in the park Sharing everything we got Playing until after dark Yesterday's dreams carry me away To a time when love was new To a summer night and a sunny day And the sky was always blue.
