I saw you on the street today I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say That you look just the same But then I realized We are not even friends and I was so surprised When the teardrops came I'm living in the past Living in the past Living in the past, I know But the past is gone I can't remember when You didn't cross my mind and pull me back again Into my reverie And that's why I'm living in the past And I gaze out the window as the world drifts by And my eyes will glaze and I slip away And my todays are gray, the seconds tick away But if I close my eyes it's only yesterday And I see rainbows surrounding you and me But that was in the past I know it was the past
