Yesterdays Live On and On

Deep in a dream, they’re always about you
Tossing and turning, until morning light
Half asleep, I reach out to touch you
Your memory, so real, so alive
You swore that you’d end things at home
Fly back to me in a week or so
But you and time slipped through my fingers
You finally wrote and then you were gone

Yesterdays live on and on
Yesterdays live on and on

That letter came last month postmarked Wyoming
It was written by your hand for sure
Good-bye was the message it carried
I’d never be holding you anymore
Said your mind was made up for certain
Had to stay with him and the kids
All I have left are pictures in my mind and a
Long long list of what ifs

Flying as high as the eagles
That one month you spent on business in town
Everything sparkled around us
Never thought we’d ever come down
