Lyrics

THAT WAS YESTERDAY

Verse: I see the rain slowly wash away
The driveway chalk where my kids played
Just yesterday, just yesterday
Helped my wife load the minivan for their move upstate
God keep 'em safe, wish they could have stayed
But she wouldn't wait
Her mind's made up, she found somebody new
But I'll always be their Dad my whole life through

Chorus: It was baseball, hide and seek,
Close your eyes now don't you peek
And hearing I love you Dad as I tuck them in to bed
Halloween and Christmas Eve,milk and cookies by the tree
Now life it seems will never be the same,
'Cause that was yesterday

Verse: Now I've become a long distance Dad,
And these webcams guess they're not so bad
But they can't replace...a child's embrace
Playing games on the internet,
We all laugh, 'cause I ain't beat 'em yet
But that's OK, tomorrow's another day
Now it seems kids grow up much too fast,
Sometimes I wish that we could just go back

Chorus: To baseball, hide and seek,
Close your eyes now don't you peek
And hearing I love you Dad as I tuck them in to bed
Halloween and Christmas Eve, milk and cookies by the tree
Now life it seems will never be the same,
'Cause that was yesterday

Bridge: Now I work a lot of overtime and I go out on the town
My friends say it gets easier, but so far I have found
That my big old house feels empty, and the quiet's much too loud
Can't wait for the weekend to roll around

Chorus: Baseball, hide and seek,
Close your eyes now don't you peek
And hearing I love you Dad as I tuck them in to bed
Halloween and Christmas Eve, milk and cookies by the tree
Now life it seems will never be the same,
'Cause that was yesterday
