Yesterday's Love

Ricky Nelson


When I get to thinking about the past 
and all of the good things that were too good to last 
I cry in my heart for each little part 
of yesterday's love 
A few tender moments when heaven was mine 
the vows that you whispered 
with each kiss was divine how empty they seem 
they're lost in a dream 
with yesterday's love 

somewhere I lost you along the way 
lost without knowing the price that I'd pay 
I can't help but wonder how things would have been 
if I could start over and try it again 

but love has its problems and bridges to burn 
you have to cross over and you never return 
for dreams have their day and then fade away 

with yesterday's love, yesterday's love, yesterday's love
