Tomorrow and Yesterday

Are we all afraid of getting older, and being forgotten much too soon?
Like the rollerblades I only wore once, or the smell of my own childhood room
Drag my hands along the hallway, kitchen floors now tiled white
Those faded lines of getting taller, dated back to '99

Wiping the lipstick kiss from my face
Sharp smell of wine but still begged for a taste
There's something I never got to say
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday

Tried to wear my mom's stilettos and pretend to drive my father's car
Growing up was all we wanted running 'round the school yard
The cap and gown from graduation, the wedding dress my mother wore
Hang untouched on wooden hangers, collecting dust behind closet doors

Sneaking out late 'til the sun came up
Back when I thought I knew all about love
There's something I never got to say
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday

Little Jimmy from around the corner, held him close when he was born
He's 6 foot tall, can grow a beard now, he tells me of his parent's divorce
How did it all flash before me? Like photos slapped up on the fridge
I'll take them down and hold them closer to help remind me where I've been

Now I find that I still dance in the rain
I cook like my mother and laugh just the same
There's something I never got to say
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
I'll love you tomorrow and yesterday
