Now I see the time we had before   Is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore   And I've learned that written words are not the same   As when you take the time to say it and let the clouds release the rain      And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends   Yesterday's just something I can't mend   And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too   Now my tears fall down for you, for you      And I say one thing each day before I lay me down   I thank God for your sweet smile, although you're not around   And I can't overcome your memory in my mind   It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time      And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend   But, yesterday's just something I can't mend   'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too   Now my tears fall down for you, for you
