Was it yesterday?
That you were such a part of me
Just yesterday?
That you said you had to go and take with you
The very heart of me?
Was it yesterday, just yesterday?

Was it summertime?
When we drank the wine of love so deep and strong
We thought we would be drunk forever
Letting life's sweet tender passions roll along
What went wrong, with our sweet summer song?

Now as I recall, those tawny days of ours we spent like golden coins
Some kindly angel heaven sent, oh yes, we spent
So recklessly
Following the paths we found, forever winding, ever free

And now, now as I recall
I realize that those summer days
Were never our days at all

Now as I recall, those tawny days of ours we spent like golden coins
Some kindly angel heaven sent, oh yes we spent
So recklessly
Following the paths we found, forever winding, ever free

And now, now as I recall
I realize that those summer days
Were never our days at all
