They Don't Give Medals To Yesterday's Heroes

(álbum: Very Dionne - 1970)

You should have been there when I was twenty
You never heard such applause
Now I'm twenty-five and hardly anyone knows I'm alive
But there's no use in looking back
Because they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today
I'm going to a place and nothing can stand in my way
Yesterday is over

No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
I know my way now
I'll never look back from this day on
Yesterday is over
Can't you see it's over
And I begin living today

I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
And I'm gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
I'm gonna reach out and touch every star above
Yesterday is over
No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
So wrap up that loving cup
I'm a winner from this day on

Yesterday is over
Can't you see it's over
And I begin living today
