What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

JUST LIKE YESTERDAY

Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away
And just like at the time
The things we did made our hearts skip away

Down on my knees I prayed
Kind woman don't go astray

When it seems at times
I've got my mind and heart all straight away
And just when you've become
A mem'ry of the past and fade away

I see your face and think of all
Of all that we had
With of the things that you brought me
Now was it so bad
Makes me wonder

Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away
