You should have been there when I was twenty
|
You never heard such applause
|
Now I’m twenty-five and hardly anyone knows I’m alive
|
But there’s no use in lookin’ back
|
Because they don’t give medals to yesterday’s heroes
|
‘Cause yesterday’s over and I’ve got to live for today
|
I’m goin’ to a place and nothing can stand in my way
|
Yesterday is over
|
No they don’t give medals to yesterday’s heroes
|
I know my way now, I’ll never look back from this day on
|
Yesterday is over, can’t you see it’s over
|
And I begin livin’ today
|
I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
|
And I’m gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
|
I’m gonna reach out and touch every star above
|
Yesterday is over
|
No they don’t give medals to yesterday’s heroes
|
So wrap up that lovin’ cup
|
I’m a winner from this day on
|
Yesterday is over, can’t you see it’s over
|
And I begin livin’ today
|
