Feels like yesterday

I wake up with the rising sun, but my body's moving slow The hands of time keep turning, where did all the years go I see my father's face now, staring back at me Lines of laughter, lines of sorrow, tell my history The echoes of my past, they whisper soft and low The faces of my loved ones, and places I used to know In the mirror, I see an old man staring back at me Fading echoes of the boy I used to be The years have flown, yet here I stand, a weary heart, a weathered hand Memories from 50 years ago, faces and places I used to know It only seems like yesterday, God, it feels like yesterday Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday Oh, it feels like yesterday I used to run without a care, dreams burning in my eyes Now I sit and watch the world go, rushing on outside I've seen love and I've seen loss, I've held on and let go But the heart still beats like it did back then, though the body says go slow The echoes of my past, they call me like a song But I'm still here, still holding on In the mirror, I see an old man staring back at me Fading echoes of the boy I used to be The years have flown, yet here I stand, a weary heart, a weathered hand Memories from 50 years ago, faces and places I used to know It only seems like yesterday, God, it feels like yesterday Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday Oh, it feels like yesterday, yeah Yesterday, oh, it feels like yesterday Oh, it feels like yesterday If I could turn the clock back, even just for a day I'd dance under moonlight, I'd have more to say But the river keeps on flowing, and I can't change the tide I'll just keep these moments burning bright inside, inside Inside In the mirror, I see an old man staring back at me (back at me) Fading echoes of the boy I used to be (I used to be) The years have flown, yet here I stand, a weary heart, a weathered hand Memories from 50 years ago, faces and places I used to know Used to know, to know It only seems like yesterday, God, it feels like yesterday Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday Oh, it feels like yesterday The years drift by, they fade to gray I know my time will slip away, but I still wish to stay I long for yesterday
