Only Yesterday

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Watch my life go turning in circles
'Round a face I once cupped in my hands
Whirling and twirling like a leaf on the wind
Sometimes it's more than I can hardly stand

And more and more with every day she's with me
Hiding deep down somewhere in my mind
And then at night she tiptoes out to wake me
She's gone before I can open my eyes

And how the years have passed me by so swiftly
Since I felt her warmth where I lay
Keep thinking, Lord, I can hold her tomorrow
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday

And her laughter was sweeter than golden honey
And the sparkling sound just won't let me go
Just to find that moment still shining
But I lost her such a long time ago

And how the years have passed me by so swiftly
Since I felt her warmth where I lay
Keep thinking, God, I can hold her tomorrow
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday

La-da-da, la-la-la
