If Only It Were Yesterday Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

If only it were yesterday when time belong to me
So many things I′ve yet to do
So many sights to see
A thousand lines I never wrote
And songs I've never sung
If only it were yesterday
When still the world was young


If only it were yesterday
When I was still a king
When winter could be wished away
And overnight was spring
When all the world was spinning
In a plan of my design
If only it were yesterday
When still your love was mine

Yesterday, pain was something I could never know
Such a long, long time ago

If you were here beside me now
I′d never ask for more
For I have come to realize
What every day is for
I need you here to bring the sun
My world has turned to gray
If only it were yesterday before you'd gone away
