Yesterday's Dreams
Sometimes I'll close my eyes
And go back to yesterday's dreams
Where love had no disguise
A simpler life it seems
Men working in the mines
Mother's making quilts with yarns
Red Man chewing tobacco signs
Painted on the sides of barns
A quiet ride through the countryside
On a Sunday afternoon
Couldn't bring them back if we tried
Those days went by too soon
I can hear my Mother calling
Hey Vince, go find Joe and John
Dad's going to be coming home
And I'm putting supper on
Playing Wiffle ball in an old lot
Free movies in the park
Sharing everything we got
Playing until after dark
Yesterday's dreams carry me away
To a time when love was new
To a summer night and a sunny day
And the sky was always blue.
