Yesterday Lyrics

The clock rewinds to a sunlit room

Your laughter echoes through the afternoon

We danced in circles, time was on our side

Now all those moments live where shadows hide

I trace the lines of your faded smile

A photograph that haunts me all the while

You whispered, "Stay," but the world turned gray

Now yesterday's slipping away

Yesterday, you were here, now you're a ghost

A melody I need but love the most

We wrote our song in the stars, so bright

But time tore the pages, stole the light

Yesterday, why'd you fade with the coast?

The autumn leaves crackle under my feet

A path we walked where memories repeat

Your scarf still hangs on the old oak tree

But it's just the wind singing back to me

I close my eyes, and you're almost near

A fragile dream dissolving into tears

You promised dawn, but night never ends

And yesterday's all I can defend

Yesterday, you were here, now you're a ghost

A melody I need but love the most

We wrote our song in the stars, so bright

But time tore the pages, stole the light

Yesterday, why'd you fade with the coast?

The clock stops now in this empty space

I chase the shadow of your face

Was it real, or just a lullaby?

A requiem beneath a bleeding sky

Yesterday, you were here, now you're a ghost

A melody I need but love the most

We wrote our song in the stars, so bright

But time tore the pages, stole the light

Yesterday, why'd you fade with the coast?

The vinyl spins, your voice still plays

A bittersweet refrain of better days

Yesterday, stay… don't fade to gray

Let me live in the dawn where you'd say,

"Forever's just a breath away"
