PATTI SCIALFA
"Yesterday's Child"

Anna' in a foreign blue
Yesterday I saw someone
Who reminded me of you
And I'
Held my breath and called your name
And though I knew it was not you
I followed just the same'
I wanted to raise the glass
To a symphony of miles
And say our last farewell
To yesterday's child

Anna' sweep the doorway clean
Let's forgive before we blame
And I'
Will make my own amends
With the dust and sin
Underneath my skin
And on my maiden name

So let's raise the glass
To a symphony of miles
And say our last farewell
To yesterday's child

Anna' in my dreams
I open my arms and I'm flying
Let's do some living
Forget about the dying'

Anna' I've done my thousand days
Now I'm walking free in time
And I' still have my imaginings
Where there's no struggling'
Or suffering
Just cigarettes and wine'

So let's raise the glass
To a symphony of miles
And say our last farewell
To yesterday's child
