Look back and yes remember
The days of photographs
The days of our childhood
The playtime and the laughs
The coming home at teatime
The dinner on the table
The bath on Saturday night
Cosy like a stable
But don’t look back forever
That will never do
Today is just as good
Come on let’s have a brew
And tomorrow will be wonderful
Just you wait and see
The stages of our little life
So good just to be
I have so many yesterdays
The memory is full
The tomorrows will be fewer
And hopefully not dull
But every day that ever was
And those that yet will be
Go by the name of today you know
So live it faithfully
