Leaving Yesterday Behind

Patti Austin


Since you left me, I never really tried 
To put my life at where it should belong 
And I've always let the past come back 
I'm realizing that it could be wrong 

But now I fin'lly knew 
I had to let it go 
To make way for a brighter tomorrow 

So now I'm leaving yesterday behind 
And fin'lly I've made up my mind 
To let the mem'ries stay away 
And think about today 
I'm leaving yesterday behind
'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more 
The way I did before 

Since I know that I never will forget 
The memories that made my yesterday 
I will try not to let it interfere 
The choices I will make along the way 

'Cause I'm not livin' in a world of fantasy 
I'm here now in the world of reality 

So now I'm leaving yesterday behind 
And fin'lly I've made up my mind 
To let the mem'ries stay away 
And think about today 
I'm leaving yesterday behind
'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more 
The way I did before 

I'm leaving yesterday behind 
And fin'lly I've made up my mind 
To let the mem'ries stay away 
And think about today 
I'm leavin' yesterday behind
'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more 
Just the way I did before
