Lyrics
On cold dark nights singing lonesome blues
I think of you and I choose
To forget with no regrets
That bittersweet yesterday time.
I'm clearing clutter from my closet and my memories
If I look I know it's you I'll find
Now don't you go making me no apologies
Don't be mean, don't be unkind
And don't dare to remind me of that yesterday time.
I'm sorting through the remnants of what used to be
Sweeping every trace of you from my mind
Now don't you go giving me your sympathy
Don't be mean, don't be unkind
And don't try to rewind to that yesterday time
On cold dark nights singing lonesome blues
I think of you and I choose
To forget with no regrets
That bittersweet yesterday time.
Instrumental
I'm chasing out the shadows that have haunted me
'Cause happiness with you I won't find
Now don't you go giving me no guarantees
Don't be mean, don't be unkind
'Cause I've left you behind in that yesterday time.
On cold dark nights singing lonesome blues
I think of you and I choose
To forget with no regrets
That bittersweet yesterday time.
