Lyrics That's How I Remember Yesterday - The Limeliters

That's How I Remember Yesterday

Sometimes I stop and think about
The way things used to be
When I was just a kid out on the street
Everything was simple then, at least it seemed that way
So when life gets more than I can take, my thought ago racing back to yesterday
When Detroit put steel in every car
Freeways didn’t come through yards
To put two arms around a girl, was going pretty far
A little was a lot to us
But people seemed to have more trust
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
When I, never walked I always ran
My first fight was second hand
And anything worth having, came for free
There were times when times were tough
But people seemed to have enough
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
But now the years go by so fast
Friendships come and go
The world to day is different than before
Lovers still walk hand in hand
Good things never change
Cause love still makes the world go round
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
We looked up to cops and down on crooks
Fished with last years fishing hooks
I never feared the darkness when I woke up in the night
Cause the rumble of a distant train
Would put me back to sleep again
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
We had fields to fly our paper kites
Picture shows on Friday night
Basketball on Saturday, I always got to play
A dime back then was worth a quarter
Mother was a name to honor
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
When Detroit put steel in every car
Freeways didn’t come through yards
To put two arms around a girl, was going pretty far
A little was a lot to us
But people seemed to have more trust
And that’s how I remember yesterday …
That’s how I remember yesterday …
