Lyrics:

(Kinky Friedman)
If I made a wish for every sacred star
Falling just outside of Heaven's window
If I had the songs from David's old guitar
And the dreams I've left behind me on my pillow
And if I gave them all to you
If I took the fall for you
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday
You smiled just like a lover and a friend
Lady Yesterday
You danced like it was yesterday again
They say that love's a paper boat upon the sea
They say that love is a reflection on the river
They say that love's a thing that's never meant to be
They say that love's a thing that's meant to be forever
And if I gave it all to you
If I took the fall for you
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday
You smiled just like a lover and a friend
Lady Yesterday
You danced like it was yesterday again

Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
Hmm, hmm, hmm ...
And if I gave it all to you
If I took the fall for you
Could you make it spring ?
Lady Yesterday
You smiled just like a lover and a friend
Lady Yesterday
You danced like it was yesterday again
