And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend
And I say one thing each day before I lay me down
Now my tears fall down for you, for you
As when you take the time to say it and let the clouds release the rain
And I've learned that written words are not the same
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time
But, yesterday's just something I can't mend
I thank God for your sweet smile, although you're not around
'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too
Yesterday's just something I can't mend
And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind
