Wasn't it only yesterday,
That you came to be?
I felt your life begin
To grow inside of me.
Wasn't it only yesterday,
My heart was filled with joy?
When I found out I had
A brand new baby boy.
Time passes quickly,
Everything moves fast.
What seems like only yesterday,
Happened long in the past.
Wasn't it only yesterday,
That you sat on my knee?
You smiled your very first
Smile just for me.
Wasn't it only yesterday,
That you went off to school?
And I dried all your tears,
When someone had been cruel.
Time passes quickly,
Everything moves fast.
What seems like only yesterday,
Happened long in the past.
Wasnt it only yesterday,
My heart was filled with pride?
As I watched my young man,
Make his vows with his bride.
Wasn't it only yesterday,
That you brought back home
Your brand new baby boy
So much like my own.
Time passes quickly
Everything moves fast.
What seems like only yesterday,
Happened long in the past.
