๐ Lyrics
When you were born lit the room up like Edison
Wrote you a poem it was nothing like Tennyson
Child, yesterdays
Tell me where have they gone?
You climbed up on tables always laughing and yelling
Took a pen to the sofa with a curious spelling
My child, yesterdays
Tell me where have they gone?
Time's not absolute
It goes faster for me than you
And the days keep on slipping through
My outstretched arms
I read you bedtime stories but I fell asleep first
You snuck out and licked all the frosting off the cake
My child, yesterdays
Tell me where did they go?
Love is absolute
It gives everything for you
And the years keep on slipping through
My outstretched arms
One day you'll be grown, I'll be weathered and worn
You'll still shine like the day, like the day you were born
You'll say "dad, yesterdays -
Tell me where did they go?"
Remember that summer eve
When you stumbled and skinned your knees?
You turned and you reached for me
For my outstretched arms
All of those memories
Float away on that summer breeze
When you stumble remember me
With my outstretched arms
Wrote you a poem it was nothing like Tennyson
Child, yesterdays
Tell me where have they gone?
You climbed up on tables always laughing and yelling
Took a pen to the sofa with a curious spelling
My child, yesterdays
Tell me where have they gone?
Time's not absolute
It goes faster for me than you
And the days keep on slipping through
My outstretched arms
I read you bedtime stories but I fell asleep first
You snuck out and licked all the frosting off the cake
My child, yesterdays
Tell me where did they go?
Love is absolute
It gives everything for you
And the years keep on slipping through
My outstretched arms
One day you'll be grown, I'll be weathered and worn
You'll still shine like the day, like the day you were born
You'll say "dad, yesterdays -
Tell me where did they go?"
Remember that summer eve
When you stumbled and skinned your knees?
You turned and you reached for me
For my outstretched arms
All of those memories
Float away on that summer breeze
When you stumble remember me
With my outstretched arms
