LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY Writer: Mitch Stephen [verse] Was the Sea of Cortez Me and my ol’ man The water flat and blue The fish were rollin’ in The whales did a dance And the beer was cold And the dolphins led When it was time to go [pre chorus] Left my camera in that Yellow Cab That’s when my white-haired Daddy said… [chorus] Son I’ll remember this… Like it was yesterday We had the wind in our hair And a smile on our face We had a stringer of fish We had suntan skin We had life in our blood And we were livin’ it Let that camera drive away Son I’ll remember this… Like it was yesterday… [verse] It was 1am And from my sleep She said the baby’s here And I grabbed the keys I led her to the car Ran back for my cigars And by 6am I was holdin’ him [pre chorus] An imaged chiseled in stone Lookin’ at me, all the love I’d ever known [modified chorus] Son I’ll remember it… Like it was yesterday You had a head a hair And a wrinkled face Ten fingers and toes And your Momma’s nose And who you’d be Only heaven knows My life has never been the same Son I’ll remember it… [interlude] A grand-slam with Daddy in the seats An “I DO KISS” and two wedding rings The day I kiss the ground when I got home from overseas An 18 candle birthday cake My first love down by the lake Momma’s last wish “Love and Grace” [break down modified chorus] I’ll remember them… Like it was yesterday We had the wind at our backs We had smiles on our face We had ev’ry thing Anyone could ever want We had all the love we’d need And all of God’s blessing I wouldn’t change a single thing… Oh I’ll remember it Like it was yesterday Like it was yesterday
