Love Poem: Yesterday There Was Love

Yesterday There Was Love

(25 second instrumental . . .)

Yesterday there was love
Your eyes blue as the sea
Yesterday there was love
Full of sweet happy glee
Each day was divine

To guard and hold dear
And to treasure for all time
And then you left me
Your soul was set free

Yesterday there was love
Oh now I dream of you every night
And I face this world in fear
Has it really been a year

Yesterday there was love
It was a one time love thing
Now memories I cling
Yesterday there was love
Everyday is a tear
Oh now I dream of you every night
And I face this world in fear
Has it really been a year
Yesterday there was love
It was a one time love thing
Now memories cling
Yesterday there was love
And then you left me

(25 seconds instrumental to fade)
