Lyrics
Just yesterday I cast my eyes
Reflecting on a recent past, I looked at you
Upon your loving face
Referring to the affectionate expression on your face
But that was yesterday
Acknowledging the temporal nature of the mentioned moment
Now just a dream
Expressing that the experience is now only a vision
A dream that lives inside my memory
Describing the dream as a lasting image in my mind
Wish it could be reality
Expressing a desire for the dream to become a reality
Shine on yesterday
Invoking the idea of the past, asking it to shine on
Carry me away
Expressing a wish to be carried away by the memories
And let me back in your arms
Desiring to return to the embrace of a loved one
Holding you again
Expressing the longing to hold the person again
Shine on yesterday
Reiterating the desire for the past to shine on
Carry me away to be with you
Expressing a yearning to be carried away to reunite
Somehow let my dream come true
Expressing a hope that the dream becomes a reality
You know sometimes I stop and stare
Reflecting on moments of stopping and staring in thought
No matter where I am
Indicating that thoughts of the person arise regardless of location
Thinking of you again
Continuing to think about the person
Once in a while I call your name out loud
Occasionally vocalizing the person's name
Hoping you'll hear
Expressing a hope that the person hears the call
Hoping my prayer will bring you here
Connecting the hope that prayers will bring the person closer
Shine on yesterday
Repeating the desire for the past to shine on
Carry me away
Reiterating the wish to be carried away by memories
And let me be back in your arms
Desiring to be back in the comforting embrace of the person
Holding you again
Expressing the longing to hold the person again
Shine on yesterday
Reiterating the desire for the past to shine on
Carry me away to be with you
Expressing a yearning to be carried away to reunite
Somehow let my dream come true
Repeating the hope that the dream becomes a reality
