Hanging on to Yesterday Lyrics by Tommy Keene

Based on Happy Times

0

Julie threw a pack of cards into the ocean
I guess I’ll always stand back
Showing no emotion
Swallowed in the deep end of her soul
She fled a past that couldn’t last
Only fire engines can hear you scream
Through the break of day
All you’ve got to say is
Hanging on to yesterday
If she gets a new job will she move faster
I never want to look back
I know I’ve gone past her
I’m calling down to Florida where it’s far enough away
I guess to say that
Only fire engines can hear you scream
Through the break of day
All you’ve got to say is
Hanging on to yesterday
Where in your life you’ve lost somebody new
You’re down
But now it’s just another phase
I’m crawling down to Florida where it’s far enough away
I guess to say that
Only fire engines can hear you scream
Through the break of day
All I’ve got today is
Hanging on to yesterday
