1st VS: If I could go back,
I'd set the stage of my play
a day before she walked your way.
I'd do something bold
and wait for you in the cold
before time became a day too old.

2nd VS: There'd be a brush on my cheek,
as the wind rushes by
butterflies saying why oh why
can't you calm your nerves
before he rounds the curve
and it's you that he observes.

Pre Chorus: Then I'd walk up to you, say how do you do
with the hopes you had noticed me too.

Chorus: If today was yesterday,
what would be tomorrow?
Would it reflect all the years
of loneliness and so much sorrow?
Whether you believe in fate
or have Faith on High
I know her life would be mine
if today was yesterday

2nd VS: You fit like a glove.
I know it seems so cliche'
I can't say it any other way
When you find that one,
what can't be undone
is your heart that they have won.

2nd PC: Despite all that I do,
I can't shake thoughts of you
and what would be, had I followed through.

Chorus


Bridge: We just don't know what the future holds
as father time intertwines
your life with mine
The day may come, when I am in your arms
as I watch your eyes grow old

Half Chorus
Full Chorus

Tag: I know her life would be mine
I know her life would be mine
If today was yesterday
