You told me you'd love me
And be by my side
Through wind and rain
Come Time or Tide
You told me you'd heed me
And hear what I said
My words would be precious
But, were torture instead
You said I was special
A rare blossom of Earth
But, your heart was not in it
In those words of mirth
But, that as we say
Is "Yesterday's kettle of fish"
Today I have left you
With every good wish
That my heart can send
In all honest truth
I'm still thinking of you, dear
And Yesterday's youth
We promised the World
To each other, one day
Look what happens, love
When we don't mean what we say
