It was only yesterday we were laughing,
  children passing
  And we seemed to know a way
  As did everyone that day
  
  Old people shuffling by
  Want to rest their tired eyes
  So lucky to be young
  Very young
  And then love
  
  And it was only yesterday we were dancing
  Feeling lasting
  And we held our hands in play
  As did everyone that day
  
  It was only yesterday we were laughing,
  children passing
  And we seemed to look away
  As did everyone that day
