        I can still remember yesterday,
                                   
 we were so in love in a special way.
                                 
 And knowing that you loved me made me feel
       
 oh so right.
                                       
 But now I feel lost don't know what to do.
                                     
 Each and every day I think of you.
                                 
 Holdin' back the tears I'm trying with 
       /  
 all my might.

Refrain:
                                            
 Because you've gone and left me standing all alone.
   /        (sus)                
    And I know I've got  to   face tomorrow on my own.
    
    But baby,

 I wish that it could be just like before,
                               
 I know I could've given you so much more.
                                         
 Even though you know I'd given you all my love.
                                 
 I miss your smile, I miss your kiss.

 Cause baby it's you that I'm always dreaming of...
