Lyrics
What Happened to Yesterday
By Steve Burdette & Randy Bishop (ASCAP)
©2016, Rokit Music
Back in the day, we had the world on a string
Plenty of time, to do it over again
Now life's flyin' by, like a runaway train
Gotta smell the roses, gotta walk in the rain
CHORUS:
What happened to yesterday, where'd it go
What happened to yesterday, I don't know
It was here, now it's gone, gone so far away
What happened to yesterday
I've got some regrets, 'bout some of my deeds
'Cause come payback time, there ain't nothin' for free
So, now I'm that guy, I thought I'd never be
Looking to find, a better version of me
CHORUS:
What happened to yesterday, where'd it go
What happened to yesterday, I don't know
It was here, now it's gone, gone so far away
What happened to yesterday
BRIDGE:
Now all of the memories
That flash through my mind
Seem to remind me
What I've left behind
How I wish I could go back
And travel through time
I think of tomorrow, but can't think too much
Gotta live for today, 'cause time's in a rush (yes it is)
Sometimes I wonder, how long it will last
Just wish that my future, was as long as my past
