Kinky Friedman - Lady Yesterday
If I made a wish for every sacred star
Falling just outside of Heaven's window,
If I had the songs from David's old guitar
And the dreams I've left behind me on my pillow
And if I gave them all to you,
If I took the fall for you
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend.
Lady Yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.
They say that love's a paper boat upon the sea,
They say that love is a reflection on the river.
They say that love's a thing that's never meant to be,
They say that love's a thing that's meant to be forever.
And if I gave it all to you,
If I took the fall for you,
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend.
Lady Yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
And if I gave it all to you,
If I took the fall for you,
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend,
Lady Yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.
