(Kinky Friedman)



If I made a wish for every sacred star

Falling just outside of Heaven's window,

If I had the songs from David's old guitar

And the dreams I've left behind me on my pillow

And if I gave them all to you,

If I took the fall for you

Could you make it spring ?



Lady Yesterday,

You smiled just like a lover and a friend.

Lady Yesterday,

You danced like it was yesterday again.



They say that love's a paper boat upon the sea,

They say that love is a reflection on the river.

They say that love's a thing that's never meant to be,

They say that love's a thing that's meant to be forever.

And if I gave it all to you,

If I took the fall for you,

Could you make it spring ?



Lady Yesterday,

You smiled just like a lover and a friend.

Lady Yesterday,

You danced like it was yesterday again.



Hmm, hmm, hmm ...

Hmm, hmm, hmm ...

Hmm, hmm, hmm ...

Hmm, hmm, hmm ...



And if I gave it all to you,

If I took the fall for you,

Could you make it spring ?



Lady Yesterday,

You smiled just like a lover and a friend,

Lady Yesterday,

You danced like it was yesterday again.
