Lyrics Janis Ian – I Remember Yesterday

You told me love goes on forever
And I said — talk about the weather
Or something else, but don’t say that
You’re talking through your hat

There was someone who was close to you
Someone who held you tight
Before I split the night
There were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
Long before we knew
There’d be a me and you, so baby

Don’t be telling me lies
‘Cause the truth is talking
In your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday

You tell me — I will never leave you
And I say — sorry, don’t believe you
Though I believe in mystery
And your sincerity
I know you never meant to be untrue
But once, before we knew

There was someone who was close to you
Someone who held you tight
Before I split the night
There were laughs and dreams
Hopes and schemes
Long before we knew

Don’t be telling me lies
‘Cause the truth is talking
In your eyes
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow
But I remember yesterday
I believe in tomorrow
