SWEET SONG FROM YESTERDAY



Hold back the days in which I'm living,

So far from home, so far from free;

Hold back the way we've all been given,

And let a sweet song from yesterday wash over me.



If we should meet like ships a-passin',

Some stormy night upon the blue,

We may not speak, but for the asking,

I'd let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you.



When it seems you dreams ain't worth the dreamin',

When you can't find you way through,

And when you schemes ain't worth the schemin',

Just let a sweet song from yesterday wash over you.

"The old songs (and the ones that seem as though they've always

been around) take care of us, and tend to cleanse us by washing

away the immediate grit and grime of everyday existence in a

'solution' of 'we've all been there before.' Those songs and

tunes tend to plug us into the mainstream of mankind, and let us

live and learn from the billions who have lived, lost, worked,

loved, and felt - and celebrated it in song.



Sometimes I realize that my songs tell who I am better than I do.

We are all anchored somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow -

and those sweet songs are a way of holding hands in the darkness

as we face the unknown. As time washes over us, we keep our

footing by being rooted in tradition as we face the future."
