Time sitting on my shoulder
My world is growing older
My body and soul
My story's told
My mind will not forget her
My worse 'll not get better
It was yesterday, or so they say
But I live with her face
A memory in her place
And nothing's changed

It was yesterday today
It doesn't matter what they say
As I walk a ring of faces
Keeping up my social graces
While her memory stays
It'll be yesterday today

It was yesterday today
It doesn't matter what they say
Through the smiles I beg and borrow
Will be yesterday tomorrow
While her memory stays
It'll be yesterday today

Ask'd the way from strangers
My steps ignore the dangers
It's only life
A lonely life
I walk around in circles
I trip on all the hurdles
Where am I, should I cry
While I live with her face
A memory in her place
And nothing's changed

It was yesterday today
It doesn't matter what they say
As I walk a ring of faces
Keeping up my social graces
While her memory stays
It'll be yesterday today

It was yesterday today
It doesn't matter what they say
Through the smiles I beg and borrow
Will be yesterday tomorrow
While her memory stays
It'll be yesterday today

It was yesterday today
It doesn't matter what they say
As I walk a ring of faces
Keeping up my social graces
While her memory stays
It'll be yesterday today
