Lyrics
LIKE I HELD YOU YESTERDAY
Words & Music by Greg Pierce
Rays of light are falling on the bed
You lay down to rest your weary head
You flash that special smile
And all the while we knew there?d never be another day
I can't forget the time that we first met
That sudden laughter I will not forget
Chasing tides into the sea
And all the while we lived as if there was no other way
Life around us everywhere
Love was music in the air
Dreams no one could take away
And I wish that I could hold you once again
Like I held you yesterday
Every battle found us side by side
We built bridges seeing eye to eye
But we were stealing time
Wading through the days for all the things we knew would come
Life around us everywhere
Love was music in the air
Dreams no one could take away
And I wish that I could hold you once again
Like I held you yesterday
We counted the cost of people so lost
They'll never find their way home
You taught me the way to treasure each day
Now there?s no price that I wouldn?t pay
Now I stumble to this empty bed
I lay down to rest my weary head
Funny how we knew
When we said goodbye that it would be forever
Now life is far away from here
Love is ringing in my ear
Then the music disappears
And I wish I held you in my arms today
Like I held you yesterday
Like I held you yesterday
