Yesterday
Lyrics: Alexandra Bokström Niflis
Verse 1
I remember a day,
Not so long ago.
When laughter and light
Surrounded us both.
I remember certain times,
When you would look at me and smile.
Like nothing in the world was wrong,
And I had just made you proud.
Chorus
But now when I look up at the sky
I’m reminded of the day.
When all the joy in my life,
Was taken away.
Four years have gone by,
But it seems to me like it was yesterday.
I wish I knew how this story will end,
Because I don’t know how long it will take
for my heart to mend.
Verse 2
I’ve made mistakes,
And I’ve lied.
But would you hold it against me,
Or would you stand by my side?
Because I know I’m not perfect,
And I don’t think you would want me to be.
But sometimes I wonder,
Why you will never visit me in my dreams.
Chorus
And now when I look up at the sky
I’m reminded of the day.
When all the joy in my life,
Was taken away.
Four years have gone by,
But it seems to me like it was yesterday.
I wish I knew how this story will end,
Because I don’t know how long it will take
for my heart to mend.
Bridge
I’m a daughter searching,
Searching for something that doesn’t exist.
Because no father is there to answer the phone,
To hear about all the things that he’s missed.
Chorus
So now when I look up at the sky
I’m reminded of the day.
When all the joy in my life,
Was taken away.
Four years have gone by,
But it seems to me like it was yesterday.
I wish I knew how this story will end,
Because I don’t know how long it will take
for my heart to mend.
Four years have gone by,
But it seems to me like it was yesterday.
I love you daddy. May you rest in peace.
