(Verse 1)
Baby was a child of light with eyes as bright as snow
She came into my life and rescued me
And though I tried to shield her from the dark side
of the world
The God of ice became her primal need

(Bridge)
Every day I tell myself she's gonna with this fight
She just needs a little time to find her way

(Chorus)
But then darkness falls and I'm lying in bed
She's three-years-old on her tippie toes
And she's dancing through my head
And she haunts my heart and she steals my sleep
I can taste the tears of days gone by as they're rolling down my cheek
And I know that life moves on but I've got to say
I miss yesterday

(Verse 2)
My baby boy enlisted at the age of just nineteen
He stood there looking regal by the door
With tears of mixed emotion we sent him on his way
I've never seen him look that strong before

(Bridge)
Every day I tell myself he's gonna be alright but I don't know when I'll see his face again

(Chorus)
So when darkness falls and I'm lying in my bed
His childhood days and careless ways keep playing in my head
And he haunts my heart and he steals my sleep
I can taste the tears of days gone by as they're rolling down my cheek
And I know that life moves on but I've got to say
I still miss yesterday

(String & guitar Solo)

(Verse 3)
We thought our love was strong enough to ride the waves of time
We stayed afloat but we drifted out to sea
Each became an island off the coast of different dreams
I guess that's just the way it's meant to be

(Bridge)
Every day I tell myself it's really best this way
Sometimes loving someone means to set them free

(Chorus)
But then darkness falls and I'm lying in bed
And thoughts of how we used to be keep playing in my head
And it haunts my heart and it steals my sleep
I can taste the tears of days gone by as they're rolling down my cheek
And I know it's time to turn another page
And I know that life moves on but I've got to say
I miss yesterday
I miss yesterday
