That Was Yesterday
Diadems and gems that glitter, painted faces turningLady played the harpsichord, where now the brambles growHopes and schemes like old men's dreamsSome have gone astray"The world could never change", you saidBut that was yesterday"The world could never change", you saidBut that was yesterday
Peacocks, mannequin paradedOn your velvet lawnServants at your beck and callTo bring you wine and rosesThe songs your lovers made for youWere soon to fade away"The world could never change", you saidBut that was yesterday"The world could never change", you saidBut that was yesterday
Fortunes come and go like winterBlossoms into springYou woke one morning so unknowingAnd all the money goneYou said goodbye to fineryAnd the friends who used to say:"We're with you till the end of time"But that was yesterday"We're with you till the end of time"But that was yesterday
