Longing for Yesteryear

Too soon you were taken from me
Too soon I was left to wander free
Among a world I didn’t know
Among a place that wasn’t home

I’m longing for yesteryear
A time and place where you are near
To my heart, to my hand
Wanting to embrace your love again

To feel and play in the ocean spray
Wishing for rain by night and rainbows by day
Basking in the sun’s brilliant rays
Knowing only cobblestone roads show the way

I’m longing for yesteryear
A time and place where it is near
A place where all my memories will be
The only place where I can be me
