If Only It Were Yesterday lyrics

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
