Yesterday Young

It's been a long journey over yonder mountain
No going back to yesterday young
In memories I drink from a sweet fountain
But there's no going back to yesterday young

Sun never seems to age
Neither wind nor rain
But every day turns a page
And older my name

I want to take a stroll
But life wants to run
Once upon a time I was never slow
But there's no going back to yesterday young

I sit on a bridge and see a gentle stream
Reached for a star but could only share a gentle dream
And so I know now what I didn't know then
Sure as tomorrow comes there's no going back to yesterday young

I saw a parade today. The 100th parade for Belmont, WI. I was lucky to have gone as I didn't know I was getting off work so early. I saw classes of different years. It seemed that many had fond memories of their high school years as they ranged from 1960's up to 1980. I think that if you have someone to share your time with then age seems to melt away and you can feel young at heart at any age.
