Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yesterday
Just a photograph of yesterday
And all it's edges folded
And the corners faded sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love
A post script to it's ending
[Verse 2]
Brighter days
I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know
We know this time it's for good
And we're lovers once again
And you're near me
[Verse 3]
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground
[Verse 4]
In Spain, I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
[Verse 5]
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time they play that Spain again
[Verse 6]
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground
[Verse 7]
Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and sounds were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning
[Verse 8]
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me
[Verse 9]
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
[Verse 10]
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
[Verse 11]
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me
[Verse 12]
You gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
[Verse 13]
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
[Verse 14]
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me
[Verse 15]
You gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
[Verse 16]
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
[Verse 17]
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown tumbling down
[Verse 18]
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
[Verse 19]
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick and I'm here to say, here's Spain
[Verse 20]
Whoa, yeah
