Janis Ian
I Remember Yesterday
[Verse 1]
You told me, "Love goes on forever"
And I said, "Talk about the weather
Or something else but don't say that
You're talking through your hat
You know yourself how long forever lasted
Before we two were one"
[Pre-Chorus]
There was someone who
Was close to you
Someone who held you tight
Before I split the night
And there were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
Long before we knew
There'd be a me and you
[Chorus]
So baby, don't be tellin' me lies
'Cause the truth is talkin'
Through your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
[Verse 2]
You tell me, "I will never leave you"
And I say, "Sorry, don't believe you"
Though I believe in mystery
And your sincerity
I know you never meant to be untrue
But once before we knew
[Pre-Chorus]
There was someone who
Got close to you
Someone who held you tight
Before I split the night
And there were laughs and dreams (Together)
Hopes and schemes (Together)
Long before we knew
There'd be a me and you
[Chorus]
So baby, don't be tellin' me lies
'Cause the truth is talkin'
Through your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow

[Outro (Fade)]
(Don't fade away)
(Don't fade away)
(Don't fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)
Fade away (You fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)
Fade away (Don't fade away)...
