Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

Yesterday Is Here

If you want money in your pocket

You want a top hat on your head

A hot meal on your table

And a blanket on your bed

Today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait

Till yesterday is here

I'm going to New York City

I'll be leaving on a train

And if you wanna stay behind

Till I come back again

Today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait

Till yesterday is here

Now if you want to go

Where the rainbows end

You will have to say goodbye

All our dreams come true baby up ahead

And it's out where your memories lie

And the road is out before me

And the moon is shining bright

What I want you to remember

As I disappear tonight

Today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait

Till yesterday is here

Today is grey skies

Tomorrow is tears

You'll have to wait

Till yesterday is here
