Yesteryear
Rosi Golan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please remember me and we will meet in memory
I’ll ask about your day, you will laugh and start to say
You wanted to be with me since the moment that I left
But so much time has passed us by we’ll promise that

If this is what we get, then lets make the most of it
We can dance around the clouds up here
And we’ll be what might have been close our eyes and just pretend
That we are back again in Yesteryear, oh oh oh

And so with every breath, I’m breathin in to regret the day I left
And I can feel it now, my heart is like the empty house
Where we used to lay together past the break of day
But now the days have passed us by, like dreams that fade

If this is what we get, then lets make the most of it
We can dance around the clouds up here
And we’ll be what might have been close our eyes and just pretend
That we are back again in Yesteryear, oh oh oh





ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
