Janis Ian I Remember Yesterday song lyrics

You told me -- love goes on forever

And I said -- talk about the weather

Or something else but don't say that

You're talking through your hat

You know yourself how long forever lasted

Before we two were one

There was someone who

was close to you

Someone who held you tight

Before I split the night

And there were laughs and dreams

Hopes and schemes

Long before we knew

There'd be a me and you

So baby -- don't be tellin' me lies

'Cause the truth is talkin'

Through your eyes

I believe in tomorrow

But I remember yesterday

You tell me -- I will never leave you

And I say -- sorry don't believe you

Though I believe in mystery

And your sincerity

I know you never meant to be untrue

But once before we knew

[CHORUS]
