in memory of John Lennon

I wrote this back in 1985.

Yesterday
dedicated to John Lennon, Oct 9 1940 - Dec 8 1980

Yesterday
You could sing this world of blues away
How I wish you were alive today
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
We were singing in a minor key
Lighting candles in your memory
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

   You gave peace a chance
   And romance was on its way
   Peace and love are gone
   Passing on with yesterday

Yesterday
We were rocking half the night away
Never guessing what a price you'd pay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
