Ashes of yesterday Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late Ashes of yesterday How long 'till they all fade away? The heart has a way of remembering the good But forgetting the bad a little more than I should After the tears and the troubles we had There's still all the spaces between good and bad Ashes of yesterday Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late Ashes of yesterday How long 'till they all fade away? All the past little pictures some faint and some strong They come back around when they oughta be gone They come uninvited, they come unaware To carry me back like the flame was still there Ashes of yesterday Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late Ashes of yesterday How long 'till they all fade away? Ashes of yesterday Ashes of yesterday Ashes of yesterday
