Lyrics I Remember Yesterday - Janis Ian

I Remember Yesterday

You told me -- love goes on forever
And I said -- talk about the weather
Or something else but don’t say that
You’re talking through your hat
You know yourself how long forever lasted
Before we two were one
There was someone who
Was close to you
Someone who held you tight
Before I split the night
And there were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
Long before we knew
There’d be a me and you
So baby -- don’t be tellin' me lies
'Cause the truth is talkin'
Through your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
You tell me -- I will never leave you
And I say -- sorry don’t believe you
Though I believe in mystery
And your sincerity
I know you never meant to be untrue
But once before we knew
