Back to yesterday

Verse 1

Back in high school, standing on that bridge,

One look at you and my whole world shifted.

I was young, I was scared, didn’t know what to say,

So I carried those feelings and walked away.

Verse 2

Years went by, but my heart never changed,

No matter the distance, your name remained.

Then I found you again, and the moment felt right,

Like time had been waiting for us that whole time.

Chorus

When you picked me up at the airport that day,

Every mile, every year just faded away.

It felt like yesterday, back in our hometown,

Just you and me with the world slowing down.

And though we have lives that have taken us far,

You’re still the wish I make on every star.

Hank, my heart still runs straight to you,

And if love had a home, it’d be wherever you are.

Verse 3

Those days together were the best I’ve known,

More alive than I’ve felt in years gone.

You make me smile in a way I can’t explain,

Like sunshine breaking through after rain.

Bridge

Tell me what you need, baby, tell me where to start,

I’d give you all my tenderness, every piece of my heart.

I’d hold you close and love you true,

Show you affection in all the ways you deserve to.

If I could choose one place to be,

It would always be right there with you and me.

Final Chorus

When I close my eyes, you’re still that dream,

The one I’ve carried with me through everything.

And though life wrote stories we didn’t plan,

My heart still reaches for your hand.

Hank, I love you more than words can say,

And a part of me still lives in yesterday.
