I've been looking at old pictures
From before you went away
If I could see as clearly back then what I see today
But I can't change the picture,
Dear, no matter how I try
I'm seeing that so clearly now through Yesterday's Eyes
Yesterday I, held a love and was so bold.
Yesterday I, had more love than I could hold.
But we can't turn back the hands of time, no matter how we try
And I'm seeing that quite clearly now, through Yesterday's Eyes.
Yesterday I, watched the children all grow old,
Yesterday I, watched a love that grew so cold,
Yesterday I, watched our love wither and die
Now I'm left with faded photographs through Yesterday's Eyes.
They say a picture's worth a thousand words,
And a thousand tears I cried.
And I've only faded photographs
Now that the tears have dried.
But I couldn't change the picture, dear.
When love was slipping by.
And I've only misty memories, through Yesterday's Eyes.
Yesterday I, didn't mean to make you blue,
Yesterday I, never meant to be untrue
I can't wash away the lie I lived with all the tears I've cried
I'm seeing that so clearly now through Yesterday's Eyes
I know you'll see me sometimes, that's the way it is in town.
But I'll be seeing memories of when you're still around.
I'm still blinded by your love, dear
And I'm barely getting by,
I can't help but look at you through Yesterday's Eyes.
Yesterday I, felt that "something" in me die.
Yesterday I, heard that love was just a lie,
Yesterday I, just had to say goodbye
Now I've only misty memories through Yesterday's Eyes.
And I've all these faded photographs and Yesterday's "I's"

[TeamCannabis]

Hey luci, I guess it is kinda country, cryin' lovin' and leavin' country. I read there's a tribe in S America that don't have a word for memories, they say they see things through yesterdays eyes, and I just thought thats cool, ya know, so the wheels start turnin' and yesterday eyes become yesterdays "I"s, so glad ya like it.

ruotze,this is a Guild (F4 NT HR)with a fishman EQ.A birthday present from my boys,so it's cherished for that.But I must say it is one of the nicest sounding,playable,durable,thin­line guitars I've ever owned or played,and just gorgeous woods used as well.Thx for your comment.
