Yesterday Forever

entry picture

Yesterday Forever that's where I want to be
Yesterday forever a place of sanctuary 
Yesterday forever together you and me
Yesterday forever will set my spirit free
Yesterday forever 

Live for the here and now they say
Embrace today with a healthy glow
Enjoy the moment it's all you have
One day at a time is the way to go
Tomorrow is a mystery oh really
I don't believe a word hey ho
Yesterday has gone forever
Relax your mind and go with the flow

I talk to you each and every day
You have a special place in my heart
You gave me all of your love
Right from the very  start
I feel you watching over me
Together in spirit although apart
The day will come I just can't wait
When we will rejoice and celebrate 

I don't want to be in the moment
Your unwanted advice I wholly dispel
A future is not what I want
The past is where I wish to dwell
Time stands very still for me
The planet has all but stopped turning
Each and everyday is a struggle
Memories engulf me with a yearning

Yesterday Forever that where I want to be
Yesterday forever a place of sanctuary 
Yesterday forever together you and me
Yesterday forever will set my spirit free
Yesterday forever
