The Girl from Yesterday - Dennis Marsh

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
