YOUNG ONLY YESTERDAY
Album : Newley Delivered
(Perper)
Anthony Newley - 1966


Young only yesterday
Young and full of dreams
How long ago was yesterday
A million years it seems

But the sea still pounds the shore
And children play their game
And the Summer follows Spring
And everything is still the same

As when I was young, only yesterday
And you, you were in my heart
Now those dreams of yesterday
Must live a world apart

I'll still hear the pounding seas
I'll still see a child at play
And all of these will bring memories
Of when I was young, only yesterday

I'll still hear the pounding seas
I'll still see a child at play
And all of these will bring memories
Of when I was young, only yesterday
