Yesterdays from Roberta (1933 musical) lyrics
Yesterdays (2) Days I knew as happy sweet Sequestered days
Olden days Golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Forsooth was mine Sad am I
Glad am I For today I’m dreaming of Of yesterdays Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine Sad am I Glad am I For today I’m dreaming of Of yesterdays
