Lyrics
Only yesterday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fancy meeting you here
I guess I always knew there'd
Come a time we'd meet this way
It's good to see your face again
How long has it been
It seems like only yesterday.
You know I still remember
Time we spent together
Little things we'd do and say
The night you said goodbye
Stays here on my mind
As if it were only yesterday.
Chorus:
I feel the unrelenting march of time
And every day I fall another day behind
I want no other love, I wish on stars above
Not for tomorrow only yesterday.
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
I feel the unrelenting march of time
And every day I fall another day behind.
Our love builds on for me
It is my everything
But for you it's only yesterday
But for you it's only yesterday...
