Yesterdays

On a windy beach, chilly April dawn
We stood together by the sea
I haven't seen you now in over twenty years
But this morning your face seemed so close to me

Chorus:
And the sky turns to rose as the sun breaks from the sea
They say the earth is turning and that may well be
But if our yesterdays have found you
as you rise to start your day
And the wind whispers my name in your ear
I send my love over the timelessness of years

Our younger hearts cry out, though we hardly ever hear
It's muffled in the roar of rushing time
Reminding us of innocence before we learned to fear
Keepers of the dreams we never tried

The first steps of this journey seem a million miles away
a million miles of laughter, love and pain
But the steps that we walked long ago in my mind's ever clear
As night recedes and morning comes again

(chorus x 2)

(second chorus:)
.... But our yesterdays have found me as I begin another day
And the wind whispered your name in my ear
I felt your love over the timelessness of years
