We both met at the edge of yesterday
Where all tomorrows were still a possibility
Holding hands as we looked out to the horizon
Never realising that soon the sun would set
Forever on all our hopes and dreams
Everything will be alright, trust me, you said
I believed with you we could do anything
With you I could fly, touch the roof of the sky
You offered me all my tomorrows
And I took them into my open arms
No one ever gets the chance to return to yesterday
And what are dreams now without any hopes
When all tomorrows are only sunsets
On a life you know you will never now have
Your dreams long ago disappeared over the horizon
Now I only stand at the edge of today
In trepidation of what tomorrow might bring
And you are no longer here to hold my hand
No longer here to offer me our future
I once walked along the edge of yesterday with you

NOTE-If yesterday was a place, how many of us would want to return there for just one special moment?
