lady yesterday lyrics

(kinky friedman)

If I made a wish for every sacred star
Falling just outside of heaven's window,
If I had the songs from david's old guitar
And the dreams I've left behind me on my pillow
And if I gave them all to you,
If I took the fall for you
Could you make it spring ?

Lady yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend.
Lady yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.

They say that love's a paper boat upon the sea,
They say that love is a reflection on the river.
They say that love's a thing that's never meant to be,
They say that love's a thing that's meant to be forever.
And if I gave it all to you,
If I took the fall for you,
Could you make it spring ?

Lady yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend.
Lady yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.

Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...

And if I gave it all to you,
If I took the fall for you,
Could you make it spring ?

Lady yesterday,
You smiled just like a lover and a friend,
Lady yesterday,
You danced like it was yesterday again.
