I Remember Yesterday

Janis Ian

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

There was someone who was close to you
Someone who held you tight
before I split the night
There were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
long before we knew
there'd be a me and you, so baby

Don't be telling me lies
'cause the truth is talking
in your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
but I remember yesterday

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

There was someone who was close to you
Someone who held you tight
before I split the night
There were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
long before we knew
there'd be a me and you, so baby

Don't be telling me lies
'cause the truth is talking
in your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
but I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow
but I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow
