Walking along a crowded street
|
I see thousands of faces before me.
|
Then I see a face that I used to know
|
Long ago in my life story.
|
It starts me thinking about the things you said
|
For your image is still inside me.
|
The past is gone but in my head
|
You're still walking along beside me.
|
Is it something playing tricks with my eyes
|
Or just an illusion deceiving me,
|
Or is it someone in a disguise
|
Or visions of things that used to be?
|
|
But lately I've been going to
|
All the places that we once knew,
|
And just when I think that I am free of you
|
I keep seeing the things that remind me of you,
|
And just when I think you're out of my head
|
I hear a song that you sang or see a book that you read.
|
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafe,
|
You're driving every car, I see you everyday,
|
But you're not really there 'cos you belong to yesterday.
|
|
No more looking back,
|
No more living in the past,
|
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact,
|
Now there's no more looking back.
|
Got to be hard,
|
Yeah, look straight ahead.
|
That s the only way it's going to be,
|
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact,
|
Now there's no more looking back,
|
|
Perhaps someday I'll stop needing you,
|
Then maybe one day I'll be free of you.
|
But lately I've been going to
|
All the places that remind me of you.
|
And just when I think you're out of my head
|
I hear a record you played or see a book that you read.
|
Then you're in every bar, you're in every cafe,
|
You're driving every car, I see you everyday
|
But you're not really there 'cos you belong to yesterday.
|
|
No more looking back,
|
No more living in the past.
|
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact,
|
Now there's no more looking back.
|
No more looking back.
|
No more living in the past.
|
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact.
|
Now there's no more looking back.
