Memory conveys that you were something to be
|
When you weren't held captive in an aged body
|
You had a family that needed you and job security
|
You had everything a man could ever need
|
But where did your children go? Where is your family?
|
Did they turn into the adults that you always hoped they'd be?
|
Did you finally retire from that job that tortured you?
|
I thought all your dreams had come true
|
So why are you depressed when your life is at it's best
|
Is it really cause it's not what it seems?
|
Or are you unable to see that you should be happy
|
'Cause your still living in yesterday's dreams
|
|
Your eldest son reminds you of the way life used to be
|
When you didn't bear the chains of matrimony
|
You had no job that you hated, no responsibility
|
You were youthful and careless and free
|
And the woman you wed, she seemed better in bed
|
When there wasn't a ring on her finger
|
Yes your life seemed all right when you partied all night
|
Those days are gone, does the flavor still linger?
|
Don't tell me life would be great if you were reprobate
|
And had friends who were losers and fiends
|
You've a family a wife and a meaningful life
|
But you're still holding on to yesterdays dreams
|
|
Loneliness reduces you to disharmony
|
Your life seems so hopeless and melancholy
|
You're still young but you can't find the strength to move on
|
Now that the woman who loves you is gone
|
Did you find she wasn't so close when you needed her most
|
Is it hard facing up to rejection?
|
You might understand that she needed a man
|
But you're still seeking maternal protection
|
Don't give up you're still young and your life's just begun
|
At every corner opportunity screams
|
Sometimes life is abrupt but it's time to grow up
|
And stop clinging to yesterday's dreams
|
