If I Only Knew That Yesterday Songtext
von The Sugar Clouds

"We Can make this work"
As he took my hand
And led me to the church
Oh yeah

The preacher sadly smiled
And as the years went by
I finally realized why

If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
Then maybe baby
Maybe baby I′d be further on

The Flowers in the field
Turn their precious faces
Towards the greatest yield

But I ignore their need
And in the meantime
They begin to go to seed
Oh no


If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
Then maybe baby
Maybe baby they'd be further on

If you look into my eyes
You′ll see there's no surprise
Still I'll tie this frazzled rope
′Round the sweet remains of hope

You say every song I sing
Has the same redemptive ring
But without that
I would be lost

If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
Then maybe baby
Maybe baby they′d be further on

Couch on your front porch
As the whistling wind
Blows out your hero's torch


I watch my hair go gray
And know the path I took
I can′t get back that way
Oh no

If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
Then maybe baby
Maybe baby we'd be further on

If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
If I only knew that yesterday
Then maybe baby
Maybe baby I′d be further on
