Wasn't it just yesterday I'm really sure it was You were playing
"dress-up" In my clothes and wearing fancy gloves
I thought it was
just yesterday When I first took you to school And I spent the day
worrying Would the others be kind or cruel
It was definitely just
yesterday When you spent money on cosmetics And then hours doing your hair
and nails To get just the right effects
Somehow I thought it was just
yesterday When you had your friends spend the night And then spent so much
time on the telephone We heard you giggling with delight
Wasn't it
just yesterday Well of course it had to be When you had your very first
date Or was it your first kiss...oh, dear me
I know it was just
yesterday We sent you off to the university The house felt so
empty 'Twas just Daddy, the pets and me
I thought it was just
yesterday When you finally graduated Sometimes we feared the day would
never come Oh......how long we waited
I'm sure it was
yesterday When you got the job you longed for And you eagerly
anticipated That paycheck to buy your car
Yes it was just
yesterday I remember it....I do I saw your wedding gown And I knew that
it was true
Ah....wasn't it just yesterday Where have the years
flown You started as the sweetest baby Into a magnificent woman you have
grown
