Yesterday's Girl

(Album: We Can Fly - 1968)

On the edge of your bed
In the empty silence
You sit and you stare
And though you're not much for looking backwards
She's almost there

That magic girl
Comes from the shadows of your yesterdays
You find yourself thinking 'bout her loving ways
You try to tell yourself that you don't care
You call her name but she's not there and
Oh, then you know that you'd give the world for yesterday's girl

All the times when her touch made your heart a dancer
Have long, long gone by
You're a man so for a man tears are not the answer
Your eyes are dry

Ah, but that girl, still moves you in so many hidden ways
And though you've tried no one else can take her place
It's been so long you've learned to live without her
But you can't stop from thinking about her
Oh, then you know that you'd give the world for yesterday's girl
(That's when you know that you'd give the world for yesterday's girl) yesterday's girl

Oh, then you know that you'd give the world for yesterday's girl...
