TODAY AIN’T YESTERDAY NO MORE

Verse 1

Today – I’m walkin’ downtown – when I turn around – and I spy a familiar ol’ smile
Then we were walkin’ – and we were talkin’ – reminiscin’ about the good old times
Well ain’t it funny how the years just seem to melt away
And just how easy it is – to slip on back to yesterday

Chorus

I remember holdin’ hands – and kissin’ on the porch ‘til your old man
would flash the lights tellin’ you it was time to come in
I remember those sweet green eyes – and bein’ the envy of all the guys
Who were wishin’ that you were lookin’ like that at them
Sometimes I wish it was the way it was before
But today ain’t yesterday no more

Verse 2

Soon, we’re back in high school – when we were too cool – the king and queen of the Sr. prom
We’re goin’ steady – all hot ‘n heavy – makin’ out by Miller’s pond.
Well ain’t it funny how the years just seem to melt away
And just how easy it is – to slip on back to yesterday

Chorus

Bridge

Half way down mem’ry lane there’s a ringin’ on my phone
The little voice on the other end says “Daddy when you comin’ home?

Chorus 2

I remember holdinn’ hands – and kissin’ on the porch ‘til your old man
Would flash the light tellin’ you it was time to come in
Now I got the sweet blue eyes of the girl who said she’d be my wife
And my little baby waitin’ for me at home
Sometimes I wish it was the way it was before
(spoken) then I look around at what I have and thank God
today ain’t yesterday no more.
