LTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upon your loving face
But that was yesterday
Now just a dream
A dream that lives inside my memory
Wish it could be reality
Shine on yesterday
And let me back in your arms
Holding you again
Shine on yesterday
Carry me away to be with you
Somehow let my dream come true
You know sometimes I stop and stare
No matter where I am
Thinking of you again
Once in a while I call your name out loud
Hoping you'll hear
Hoping my prayer will bring you here
Shine on yesterday
Carry me away
And let me be back in your arms
Holding you again
Shine on yesterday
Carry me away to be with you
Somehow let my dream come true

Just yesterday I cast my eyes
Recently I looked at you
Upon your loving face
Gazing at your caring expression
But that was yesterday
That moment has passed
Now just a dream
Now a mere fantasy
A dream that lives inside my memory
A thought that stays in my mind
Wish it could be reality
I desire it to happen
Shine on yesterday
Make the past shine bright
Carry me away
Take me far from here
And let me back in your arms
And let me hold you again
Holding you again
Embracing you once more
Shine on yesterday
Make the past shine bright
Carry me away to be with you
Take me to where you are
Somehow let my dream come true
In some way, make my desire a reality
You know sometimes I stop and stare
Occasionally, I pause and gaze
No matter where I am
Regardless of my location
Thinking of you again
Recollecting thoughts of you
Once in a while I call your name out loud
Sometimes I shout your name
Hoping you'll hear
Wishing that you will listen
Hoping my prayer will bring you here
Wishing my plea will make you arrive

O ano era 1980. Eu era apenas uma criança cheia de expectativas. Vivíamos dias difíceis, mas à noite, nos deliciávamos em frente à TV, assistindo à telenovela Coração Alado, ouvindo este clássico e estonteados com Myrian Rios no auge de sua juventude e beleza, dando vida à personagem Alexandra. Que bom rever esse momento! Parabens!
