Yesterdays / Lazy Afternoon

Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy, sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of laughter, days of love

Youth was mine
Truth was mine
Joyous free this time of life
All was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreamin' of
Yesterdays

It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view
But us two

It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadow cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream

A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows

It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet,
Except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me"
