No More Yesterdays Lyrics

A child's life is carefree

Like bouncing on poppa's knee

Or spinning on that tire swing

Growing up laughing and racing, we tried everything

Momma's smile and the way she'd rave

Over the silliest things we'd say

The smell of Dad's aftershave in the air

While play shaving in the bathroom mirror

So teach the children well

And send them on their way

Pray they'll make it

Better than we had it

The future is theirs to shape

Because there's no more yesterdays

Saying prayers and climbing into bed

Tucking us in with a song softly said

Asleep, the sweetest dreams in my head

Did you know that angels smell like gingerbread

So teach the children well

And send them on their way

Pray they'll make it

Better than we had it

The future is theirs to shape

Because there's no more yesterdays

Growing up is harder than we thought

Trading games for bills, and that house you bought

The magic of youth fades like an afterthought

But remains in echoes of laughter, and sunlit lanes

Here's to Momma's smile and Poppa's knee

To passing on kindness through the family tree

For though adulthood is not all play

Their lessons remain to light the way

So teach the children well

And send them on their way

Pray they'll make it

Better than we had it

The future is theirs to shape

Because there's no more yesterdays

The future is theirs to shape

Because there's no more yesterdays
