Face of Yesterday Lyrics

There is a face I see that is, somehow, looking back at me
A familiar face from the faded memories of my past
One, that no matter how hard I try, I cannot clearly see...
Lingering softly in the shadows of my waking dreams, alas

In an unsuspecting moment, emerges a concise flicker of recall
I grasp it, but it quickly slips between my clasped fingers
I yearn to capture a lost moment, yet see it into darkness fall
I realize for a brief second, the face of Yesterday still lingers

This face of innocent childhood from days of fond, idle play
Beckons me to to listen closely to its faint calling...
"Come join me in the hidden shadows of our Yesterday"
I run toward the fading vision, then find myself falling

Falling...

Falling...

Back, once more, into the reality of my Today

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
