YESTERDAY DIED AT MIDNIGHT
By WILLY SENKIWSKY 1/13/05 12:00 am, A-Harp, Key of E, Acoustic Slow Blues
Like most people I'd like to go back to yesterday
To right some wrongs and say things I didn't say
I wish someone would tell me how; I can't find the way!
Someone once told me you can do whatever you like
Live for today; tomorrow's a lie and yesterday died at midnight!
If I had a second chance
I'd not drink so much at the high school dance
Then maybe she would've let me into her pants!
I'd say I love you to every girl
I'd say it twice to those in curls
Without them this would be a much poorer world!
Someone once told me you can do whatever you like
Live for today; tomorrow's a lie and yesterday died at midnight!
So now that's what I try to do
But I'm human so I still get confused
And think of yesterday and all the things I'd do!
The guy that told me is gone but he was right
Live for today; tomorrow's a lie and yesterday died at midnight!!!...
