Dreaming of days, younger and free
Longing for summers of sun and of sea
Where are they now? Asleep in a dream
Memories like distant places I’ve been.
Sometimes a cry, sometimes a laugh
Brings back the past like an old photograph
Faded and worn, but clear as can be
Old recollections that always stay with me
And somewhere in the memories I see only you
Somewhere yesterday is a dream I know came true
When I face the days I just don’t know what I’d do
I’d be like a ship with no sail
If not for you
Walks in the sand, strolls in the park
Didn’t the two of us dance in the dark?
Moments like those lost in a dream
Memories like distant faces I’ve seen
Sometimes a storm, sometimes the dew
Some little some-things remind me of you
Simple and kind, that was your charm
Now I must dream of when you were in my arms.
And somewhere in the memories I see only you
Somewhere yesterday is a dream I know came true
When I face the days I just don’t know what I’d do
I’d be drifting faraway somewhere just to be with you
And somewhere in the memories I see only you
Somewhere yesterday is a dream I know came true
When I face the days I just don’t know what I’d do
I’d be like a ship with no sail
If not for you
Even if you can’t be here anymore
You’ve given something to thankful for
You’ve touched my life in a way you don’t know
Shown me how love has the power to grow
Forever.
And somewhere in the memories I see only you
Somewhere yesterday is a dream I know came true
When I face the days I just don’t know what I’d do
I’d be drifting faraway somewhere just to be with you
And somewhere in the memories I see only you
Somewhere yesterday is a dream I know came true
When I face the days I just don’t know what I’d do
I’d be like a ship with no sail
If not for you
If not for you
