The Girl from Yesterday

Dennis Marsh - The Girl From Yesterday

It wasn't really sad the way

they said good-bye

Or maybe it just hurt

so bad she couldn't cry

He packed his things

walked out the door

and drove away

And she became

the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea

To some foreign land

She stayed at home and tried

so hard to understand

How someone who had been so close

could be so far away

And she became

the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right

She doesn't know what's wrong

She only knows the pain

that comes from waiting for so long

She doesn't count the teardrops

That she's cried while he's away

Because she knows deep in her heart

He'll be back someday

The light's on in the window

she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory

that's never coming home

She dreams of his returning

and the things that he might say

But she'll always be

the girl from yesterday

Yeah she'll always be

the girl from yesterday
