Happy Yesterday Poem by Lynette Lawrence

Summertime has come
but rain is still falling down
I miss you when you're not around.

Oh previous days
we lost long before yesterday.
Oh passed happy days
but memories always stay.

We saw the friendship dying,
and tried to keep it somehow alive,
but all we really did was closing our eyes.

Oh previous days,
even better than yesteday.
Once there were happy days,
But my memory starts to fade.

After I gave you away
I asked myself
why couldn't you stay.

Oh passed happy days
why couldn't you just longer stay.
Those previous days
are now just driftin' away.

It hurts me
to think about
what you might be doing now.

Happy days
you fade.
Oh previous days
but memories never ever stay.

Would you ever drink a cold espresso?
No I don't think so!
So why won't you let me go?
