| On the edge of your bed
|
| In the empty silence
|
| You sit and you stare
|
| And though you’re not much for looking backwards
|
| She’s almost there
|
| That magic girl
|
| Comes from the shadows of your yesterdays
|
| You find yourself thinkin' 'bout her lovin' ways
|
| You try to tell yourself that you don’t care
|
| You call her name but she’s not there and
|
| Oh, then you know that you’d give the world for yesterday’s girl
|
| All the times when her touch made your heart a dancer
|
| Have long, long gone by
|
| You’re a man so for a man tears are not the answer
|
| Your eyes are dry
|
| Ah, but that girl, still moves you in so many hidden ways
|
| And though you’ve tried no one else can take her place
|
| It’s been so long you’ve learned to live without her
|
| But you can’t stop from thinking about her
|
| Oh, then you know that you’d give the world for yesterday’s girl
|
| (That's when you know that you’d give the world for yesterday’s girl)
|
| yesterday’s girl
|
| Oh, then you know that you’d give the world for yesterday’s girl… |
