From the recording So far away (yesterday's memories)
Lyrics
It seems so far away
So long ago
And yet it seems to me
Like only yesterday, yesterday
With the memories of the far away
[Verse]
Your eyes were so sad
When you said goodbye
And then in my blindness
You closed the door on me
Never to hear your voice evermore
[Chorus]
But yesterday's memories
Of the far away and long ago
Yes, the rain must fall before I cry
Yes, the rain must fall before I die
Before I die
[Verse]
My footsteps ring so hollow
With every step I take
They always seem to follow
A memory of a love, of a love
That won't die or fade away
[Chorus]
But yesterday's memories
Of the far away and long ago
Yes, the rain must fall before I cry
Yes, the rain must fall before I die
Before I die
[Instrumental]
[Cello solo]
Bridge
Love never dies—it only waits
Beyond the rain, beyond goodbye
[Chorus]
But yesterday's memories
Of the far away and long ago
Yes, the rain must fall before I cry
Yes, the rain must fall before I die
Before I die
Beyond the rain, beyond goodbye.
