Bertie Higgins Only Yesterday Lyrics

I watch my life go turning in circles
'Round a face I once cupped in my hands
Whirling and twirling like a leaf on the wind
Sometimes it's more than I can hardly stand

And more and more with every day she's with me
Hiding deep down somewhere in my mind
Then at night, she tiptoes out to wake me
But she's gone before I can open my eyes

How the years pass me by so swiftly
Since I felt her warmth where I lay
I keep thinking, Lord, I can hold her tomorrow
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday
Seems that I touched her only yesterday

And her laughter was sweeter than golden honey
And the sparkling sound just won't let me go
Just to find that moment still shining
When I held her such a long time ago

How the years pass me by so swiftly
Since I felt her warmth where I lay
I keep thinking, Lord, I can hold her tomorrow
'Cause it seems that I touched her only yesterday
Seems that I touched her only yesterday
Seems that I touched her only yesterday
