Yesterday Went Too Soon

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Sitting in today Watching traffic buzzing by And faces closing in A victim of regret It glitters and it fades away Like silver turning grey Washed it all away Waiting for this dream to end Before it sucks me in I'm climbing high Up above the streets and rows of neon lights I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday Crashing on the ground The silence seems to suffocate And bury me again Waiting for a taste Of happiness to lift me free And carry me away I'm climbing high Up above the streets and rows of neon lights I know it's just a dream but I'm alive Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday I'm still missing yesterday I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight. Lost another week Feeling like a leper in A world of vanity It's killing me today Addiction pulls you down, you know And she's the drug I need Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday
