Lyrics
Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterday
And walk with me into the future of tomorrow Yesterday must be forgot no looking back no matter what There’s nothing there but mem’ries that bring sorrow Yesterday is gone gone but tomorrow is forever No more crying tears leave tracks and mem’ries find their way back Tomorrow’s waking let’s journey there together Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today Yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting We must forget the passing time my love for you is the real kind The kind that won’t hurt you no never Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever Yesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
