Yesterdays and used to be's
From a long long time ago
Take my faded memory
To a place that I used to go
We used to fly like we had wings
When we were easier to please
I loved you and you loved me
Yesterdays and used to be's
With just a mattress on the floor
In that place where we used to stay
You made me feel like I was more
Than anything I've got today
We were kicking down all those doors
You were climbing up all those trees
Before we started keeping score
Yesterdays and used to be's
All I wanted was a little affection
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was a real connection
One chance to be true
Yesterdays and used to be's
From a long long time ago
Take my faded memory
To a place that I used to know
We were never without our doubts
I try to look back honestly
But I swear we could have walked on the clouds
Yesterdays and used to be's
When I loved you and you loved me
Yesterdays and used to be's
Used to be's
