Only Yesterday - Bertie Higgins

I watch my life go turning in circles

'Round a face I once cupped in my hands

Whirling and twirling like a leaf on the wind

Sometimes it’s more than I can hardly stand

And more and more with every day she’s with me

Hiding deep down somewhere in my mind

Then at night, she tiptoes out to wake me

But she’s gone before I can open my eyes

How the years pass me by so swiftly

Since I felt her warmth where I lay

I keep thinking, Lord, I can hold her tomorrow

'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday

Seems that I touched her only yesterday

And her laughter was sweeter than golden honey

And the sparkling sound just won’t let me go

Just to find that moment still shining

When I held her such a long time ago

How the years pass me by so swiftly

Since I felt her warmth where I lay

I keep thinking, Lord, I can hold her tomorrow

'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday

Seems that I touched her only yesterday

Seems that I touched her only yesterday
