You should have been there when I was twenty
|
You never heard such applause
|
Now I¡¯m twenty-five and hardly anyone knows I¡¯m alive
|
But there¡¯s no use in lookin¡¯ back
|
Because they don¡¯t give medals to yesterday¡¯s heroes
|
¡®Cause yesterday¡¯s over and I¡¯ve got to live for today
|
I¡¯m goin¡¯ to a place and nothing can stand in my way
|
Yesterday is over
|
No they don¡¯t give medals to yesterday¡¯s heroes
|
I know my way now, I¡¯ll never look back from this day on
|
Yesterday is over, can¡¯t you see it¡¯s over
|
And I begin livin¡¯ today
|
I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
|
And I¡¯m gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
|
I¡¯m gonna reach out and touch every star above
|
Yesterday is over
|
No they don¡¯t give medals to yesterday¡¯s heroes
|
So wrap up that lovin¡¯ cup
|
I¡¯m a winner from this day on
|
Yesterday is over, can¡¯t you see it¡¯s over
|
And I begin livin¡¯ today
|
