Lyrics
Before the morning came,
it was just another day,
but you turned around
and asked me for my name.
And on the way back home,
say goodbye before you go,
won't you be my morning again?
There's a place under the tree,
next to the hill and I can see,
our reflection in the window,
like a picture on the wall
And if it is, just like you said,
we say goodbye, thats how it ends, then
tomorrow doesn't matter, at all.
Chorus:
Yesterday is gone,
Still I won't forget.
When the day is done,
It's goodbye my friend.
here's to you, here's to me, and here's to what has been.
And what will be.
How many days have passed us by,
I did not see them go,
Silently they came.
How many days I regret, but I already know,
Life comes with the days.
We found our way down an old dirt road,
some things change, that's the way things go.
And all good things, yes they surely go.
After all this time, only now I see,
All I had before does not belong to me,
Your smile, your laugh, no I, I cannot keep,
Tomorrow comes but, what does it mean?
Yesterday is gone, still I won't forget.
When the day is done, it's goodbye my friend.
Here's to you, here's to me, here's to all, that has been.
Now I know just what it means,
this goodbye it cannot be.
When the the morning comes, after days have come and gone.
I promise I will still know your name.
And on the way back home,
if you walk that way alone,
maybe it is just another day.
Well all wee need's another day, just some better words to say,
cos thankyou and goodbye they will not do.
And all I have is what you gave, what will I have when your away,
now I know i'll never find, another you.
Yesterday is gone, still I won't forget,
when the day is done, it's goodbye my friend,
Here's to you, here's to me and here's to what has been,
And what will be.
O-Oh.
