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
