Lyrics
Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterdayAnd walk with me into the future of tomorrowYesterday must be forgot no looking back no matter whatThere’s nothing there but mem’ries that bring sorrowYesterday is gone gone but tomorrow is foreverNo more crying tears leave tracks and mem’ries find their way backTomorrow’s waking let’s journey there togetherYesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is foreverI care not for yesterday I love you as you are todayYesterday just helped to pass the time while waitingWe must forget the passing time my love for you is the real kindThe kind that won’t hurt you no neverYesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is foreverYesterday is gone gone gone but tomorrow is forever
