Lyrics
Yesterday's dreams today are sorrow
Yesterday's aspirations have turned into present-day sorrow.
Just like your love, girl, fading away
Similar to the way your love is diminishing, disappearing.
Yesterday's love won't last 'till tomorrow
Love from the past won't endure until the future.
I know you're leaving, but what can I say?
Acknowledging the departure, expressing helplessness.
Oh (oh) wish that I could find a way
Expressing a desire to find a solution or resolution.
To make you stay I've got to prove to you
To retain you, there's a need to demonstrate love and commitment.
That I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Emphasizing the depth of love and dependency.
Don't go (don't go) don't go (don't go)
Urgent plea for the person not to leave.
If you go, don't you know
Highlighting the impact of departure.
You're gonna leave me with
The consequences of leaving.
Yesterday's dreams though gone behind us
Reflecting on dreams from the past, now behind.
They're lonely reminders of plans that we made
Those dreams serve as lonely reminders of plans made together.
Yesterday's plans today gone forever
Plans from yesterday are gone forever in the present.
But they're locked here inside me they never will fade
Despite their disappearance, they are eternally preserved within.
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Even if the person departs, time will reveal continued yearning.
Dreamin' still, I always will
Remaining in a dreamlike state, persistent in affection.
'Cause I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Reiterating love and the essential need for the person.
Don't you go (don't go) don't you leave me, baby (don't go)
An earnest plea not to leave.
Baby don't you leave me (don't go) please don't leave me
Repetition of the plea, emphasizing the importance of staying.
(Don't go) here with yesterday's dreams
Stressing the present connection with past dreams.
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Reiterating the idea that time will demonstrate enduring love.
Dreamin' still, I always will
Continued commitment to dreams, remaining hopeful.
Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes
Past dreams now reduced to insignificant remnants.
With one burning hope that hangs on
A single, persistent hope remains despite the ashes of the past.
