Yesterday is Over

Once, you made me so happy and glad
Now remembering just makes me sad
All that laughing, dancing and singing
That was there in the beginning
Only remains heartache and sorrow
No more dreams for today or tomorrow
Maybe someday, I will recover
Yesterday is over.

Once, there was a magical chemistry
Now I must accept: we will never be
All that thunder and lightning
That was so scary and frightening
Now has become so abundantly clear
Turmoil will follow for each coming year
It was unbearable to discover
Yesterday is over.

Once, there was hope of finding you again
Now I am certain: there is no where or when
All that planning and scheming
Pretence and daydreaming
Our expectations, felt by the other, set too high
Neither one of us, would have been able to satisfy
I will never be your lover
Yesterday is over.
