Can't Say Good Bye to Yesterday

I stare at the stars and the sky up above
And think what am I made of
Am I ful of sorrow, am I hurt and pain
Or am I filled with love?

I walk by myself on the streets below
And ask every child I know
Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain
Which one of these will show?

I can't say good-bye to yesterday my friend
I keep holding on 'till the end
Out of the darkness, there is no other way
Than the light leading to yesterday

It's there that I'll find inner peace, not war
And dreams that I let slip away
I'll find the joyfulness I'm looking for
Way back in yesterday...


Why can't each of us in the world ever see
The best things in life are free?
Little sounds of laughter, a warm hug, a smile
A kiss from you to me!

I fall to my knees, I cry and I cry
Love do not pass me by
Happy ever after please stay for a while
Make time refuse to fly

I can't say good-bye to yesterday my friend
'Cause I know how good it has been
Facing forever, here I stand come what may
Bring the old, bring the new, yesterday

It's there that I'll find inner peace, not war
And dreams that I let slip away
I'll find the joyfulness I'm looking for
Way back in yesterday...
