Today is yesterday

DON’T
DRINK IN ALL THE NIGHT BARS

OR
SIT AND WATCH THE STARS

DON’T
WONDER WHERE YOU ARE,

THAT’S
NOT MY WAY.

I
TELL MY FRAGILE HEART

THAT
WE WILL NEVER PART

AND
JUST PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY.

I
STILL PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY.

I SOMETIMES
WRITE YOU LETTERS

THAT
I KNOW YOU’ LL NEVER SEE

AND
BRING HOME YELLOW ROSES

TO
MY WORLD OF FANTASY.

I
MAY DANCE WITH A STRANGER

THOUGH
I DON’T SEE HER FACE

JUST
SAY ALL THE RIGHT THINGS

AND
STARE INTO SPACE.

I
HOLD HER SO GENTLY

AS
THE COUNTRY SONGS PLAY

BUT,
IT’S YOU THAT I’M HOLDING

AND
TODAY’S YESTERDAY.

DON’T
DRINK IN ALL NIGHT BARS

OR
SIT AND WATCH THE STARS

DON’T
WONDER WHERE YOU ARE,

THAT’S
NOT MY WAY.

I
TELL MY FRAGILE HEART

THAT
WE WILL NEVER PART

AND
JUST PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY

I STILL
PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY.

OUR
FRIENDS GET ME BLIND DATES

WITH
GIRLS I DON’T KNOW

AND
I’M SURE THAT THE’RE PRETTY

BUT,
I NEVER GO.

I
KNOW THE’RE WELL MEANING

THOUGH
THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND

THAT
ALONE ON A BAR STOOL

I’M
STILL HOLDING YOUR HAND.

THEY
SAY THAT I’M LONELY

SINCE
YOU WENT AWAY,

THEY
DON’T KNOW YOU’RE BESIDE ME

AND
TODAY’S YESTERDAY.

DON’T
DRINK IN ALL NIGHT BARS

OR
SIT AND WATCH THE STARS

DON’T
WONDER WHERE YOU ARE,

THAT’S
NOT MY WAY.

I
TELL MY FRAGILE HEART

THAT
WE WILL NEVER PART

AND
JUST PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY,

I
STILL PRETEND, TODAY IS YESTERDAY.
