Yesterday A Memory
YESTERDAY A MEMORY
As I
step
back
in time.
Allowing
my
mind to
wander.
I
remember
yesterday.
Your
presence
was so
welcome,
always
encouraging.
Believing
in my
every
effort.
Pushing
to
gr eater
heights.
Touching
mind
with you.
Taught me
greater
depths.

Wandering
Sleep does
not
come easily
tonight
I keep
waking up
to another
place and
time
allowing
my
mind to
wander
without you
I could not
comprehend
tomorrow
I would be
thrown back
into
yesterday.

Yesterday Too
Yesterday, I returned to
Poppy's Garden
It was a beautiful Spring day.
Flowers were in full bloom,
Their essence filled the air.
For a moment, I was taken
back,
Visions of the past flooded
my mind,
Once again, a little girl, sat
on her fathers lap,
Softly reading to her, from
the Childrens Bible.
Always leading in a certain
direction.
Many lessons were taught
there
He has molded me, into the
person I am today.
Encouraging me, be the best
that you can be.
He didn't want to go, I begged
my hero, stay.
I'd give up my tomorrow,
For another yesterday.

Yesterday, When I Was Mad
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad
Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
I enjoyed it, though, of course, no one understood
A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue
They couldn't understand your sense of humour like i do
You're much too kind
I smiled with murder on my mind
Yesterday, when i was mad
And quite prepared to give up everything
Admitting, i don't believe
In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad

You And I Together
When are
dreams
and
reality
ever to
meet.
My
basking
in your
presence.
Running
my hands
over your
body.
Touching
your soft
spot.
Enjoying
your
penetrat ion.
You
lying
in my
crevice.
Renewing
our love
vows.
You and
I
emerging
as one.

Yesterdays Memories
Whispers of
yesterday

Lingering

Running the

Whispers

Silent
promises
lasting a
life time.

My Eternal Love
The winds of
time
caught your
sweet words
Continue to
blow them in
my breeze.
Etching them
on the pallet
of my heart.
Oh face of
yesterday.
My shadow so
near
lingering so
close
Your presence
ever hovering
making me feel
so secure.
Oh face of
yesterday
my eternal love.

You Kept Your Promise
On an August morning not so long ago.
I was making myself busy, starting
to run my errands for the day.
The sun was brightly shining. It was
a beautiful day.I felt more lite and
happier than usual.
I had just left my home, driving my
car. I was alone, windows open, when
suddenly a cool breeze blew in my face.
I felt a presence enter my car, taking
up space in the passengers seat.I
felt as though someone had entered the
car with me. I instantly glanced in that
direction to check it out. The seat was
empty, but the presence was strong and
lingered for several seconds.
Thoughts began to run through my mind.
I remembered words once spoken to me.I
will never leave you, like your shadow,
I'll be with you always, I promise. I
whispered something in return.
Just as quickly as it came, it was gone.
I was emotionally spent. Tears filled my
eyes I was forced to stop the car, and
gain my composure.
Oh face of yesterday, you kept your promise.

Girl From Yesterday
Here i am
Looking through
That same window again
Got me hurting
To see you
Attack me
Jealousy always wondering
If i'm being true
Why cant i be ready for you
Chorus
You want too much of me
Why cant i shine[why cant i shine]
How could you do me that way
The girl from yesterday
Today i'm gone away
Away, away, away
You pushed me away
Yesterday, yesterday
If somebody loved me
The way that i have loved you
I would be secure
But you have friends that think they know
How this relationship should go
Forces from the outside
Destroying us
Why cant i be a woman
Chorus
So far away the girl from yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday
How could you leave me this way
The girl from yesterday
how could you do it
You were my lover
You were my friend
And you're pushing me
Pushing me away
I love you, tust you, need you

Oh Face Of Yesterday #2
Oh face of
yesterday
for a brief
time
you nestled
beside me.
Being
caught up
in the
moment by
your
presence.
I bathed in
your sweet
perfume
so delightful
a fragrance.
Drank from
your silver
goblet
of precious
nectar.
Oh face of
yesterday!
your flavor
remains in
my mouth.
A tasteful
syrup of
youth
filling my
day-dreams
with burning
desires.

So Yesterday
you can change your life (if you wanna)
you can change your clothes(if you wanna)
if you change your mind
well thats the way it goes
but im gonna keep your jeans
and your old black hat ( cause i wanna)
they look good on me
your never gonna get them back
at least not today not today not today cause
if its over let it go and
come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
im just a bird thats already flown away
laugh it off let it go and
when you wake up it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
haven't you heard that im gonna be okay
(okay)
you can say you're bored (if u wanna)
you can act real tough (if u wanna)
you can say you're torn
but i've heard enough
(thank you) You've made my mind up for me
when you started to ignore me
do you seen a single tear
it isn't gonna happen here
at least not today not today not today
cause
if its over let it go and
come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
i'm just a bird thats already flown away
laugh it off
let it go and
when you wake up it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
haven't you heard that im gonna be okay
if you're over me i'm already over you
if it's all been done what is left to do
how can you hang up if the line is dead
if you wanna walk i'm a step ahead
if you're movin on i'm already gone
if the light is off then it isn't on
at least not today not today not today
cause
if its over let it go and
come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
i'm just a bird thats already flown away
laugh it off let it go and when you wake up
it will seem so yesterday so yesterday
haven't you heard...you're so yesterday
if its over let it go and
come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
i'm just a bird thats already flown away
laugh it off let it go and
when you wake up it will seem so yesterday
so yesterday
haven't you heard that i'm gonna be okay

That was yesterday
That was yesterday
Someone asked me
If I had fallen astray in any particular way
I replied, ’ That was yesterday, not today’
Yesterday
I took the sunshine without making any hay
Yesterday
I allowed all my silver white teeth to decay
Yesterday
I partied and played each and every other day
Yesterday
I made friends and became the traitor who betrayed
Yesterday
I worked hard without getting my rightful pay
Yesterday
I only listened to whatever others had to say
Yesterday
I was always sad and never wore a face jubilantly gay
That was yesterday
Today is today
Yesterday I fell astray
I think it was almost every other day
But that changed in the month of May
As I got down on my knees to pray
Yesterday, Yesterday is gone
I’m free
I’m free
From yesterdays race
I’m back home in my rightful place
Life is work and not just play
Those answers came without delay
Yes but! That was yesterday, not today

Take A Giant Step
Words and music by
Gerry goffin and carole king
Though youve played at love and lost
And sorrows turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
Its time you felt like you did then.
Theres just no percentage in remembering the past
Its time you learned to live again at last.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you theres no relieve
But I swear Ill prove you wrong.
Dont stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
Thats not where you belong
Come with me Ill take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.

The Veil Of Tıme
a certain
face
lies in
the
shadows
of
yesterday
once
so
alive
real
energetic
now
just
a
memory
resting
behind
the
veil
of
time.

Yesterdays Ghosts
Everywhere I go;
there are the ghosts of yesterday.
They inhabit everything we see.
Their presence is felt
within every step we take.
The ghosts of yesterday
watch over us.
We may not be able to see them,
but we at times we know they are there.
Who are these ghosts of yesterday,
friends, relations, acquaintances
we met along the way.
I do not know the answer
and it is not for me to say.
All I know is they are there,
the ghosts of yesterday

The Master Teacher
Looking back on
yesterday,
caught by
rules of life.
I am a
product
emerging from
ashes
somewhat like
the phoenix.
ever returning
stablizing,
once more
surviving.
being taught
by the master
teacher,
one will not
forget.

Oh Song Of Yesterday
In the distance the
wind keeps humming
our love song
Oh song of yesterday!
how I cherish the
melody
your sweet refrain
binding our love
together
as we melted into
each other
in memory you remain
my paper is empty
my pen idle
Oh song of yesterday!
I cannot visualize
without you.

My Depression
Yesterday I made you upset
Today I feel so ungrateful
Tomorrow I'll say I'm sorry
Yesterday I was alone
Today I analyse why
Tomorrow I'll try and forget
Yesterday I said nasty things
Today I cant remember a word
Tomorrow I'll make it up to you
Yesterday I had no energy
Today I'm told I'm lazy
Tomorrow I need to search for motivation
Yesterday I said goodbye
Today I walked out of your life
Tomorrow I'll just have happy memories

Yesterday Is Gone
I'm sorry your situation
Has let you down
I know that things did not go as planned
'cause in this time you're feeling alone and sad
This is what you must understand
There is a way
Yesterday is gone
It's a new day
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
My dear kay
You can't get nowhere
Staying at home and crying
You can't go on living in the past
The one thing constant is that there is always change
There is a way
Yesterday is gone
It's a new day
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is gone

Opening The Door
Opening
the door
returning
to
yesterday.
Peek ing
inside a
thousand
thoughts
run the
corridors
of my
mind.
all our
treasures
remain
in tact.
just as
we left
them
so long
ago.
Our tree
house
neat
and tidy..
dolls
dressed
in their
finest,
waiting
for our
return.
It is
not the
same
now,
someone
is
missing.
Yesterday
cannot be
recaptured
as it
once was.
I quietly
close
the door
turn
away.
walk
into
the
future
leaving
them
undisturbed.
