ECHOES OF YESTERDAY

When I close my eyes, I see you
With a broken smile still true
Lost lands and battles reaching from the past
Long do those memories last

Running through my mind are echoes of yesterday
Places behind us are echoes of yesterday

You are everything I can’t be
Hear my promise hear my plea
These words are fine words of wisdom not of fear
Please always keep them near

Running through my mind are echoes of yesterday
Places behind us are echoes of yesterday

Do you think you are beaten that simply isn’t so
So try not to let it show

Running through my mind are echoes of yesterday
Places behind us are echoes of yesterday
Running through my mind are echoes of yesterday
In our own way we are echoes of yesterday 

When I close my eyes
