Don't Talk About Yesterday

copyright Barney Bentall....

"I get a bit sentimental, right around closing time,

And I find myself on the phone, looking for a dime.

I know I shouldn't call her, but I don't really have a choice.

I'll use up all my dignity to hear that pretty voice.

"Well how ya doing darlin'? You know it's been a long time

You've been on my mind.  Do you miss me baby?"

Chorus

She said "Don't talk about yesterday,

don't tell me it was better back then.

Don't talk about the good old days.

It'll never be that way again."

She don't like to remember back when life was fun.

We'd go out dancin' and come home with the risin' sun.

And now she;s goin', she's goin' back to school.

She's got thee crazy drams, but this boy can't enjoy

being part of that scene.

So I told her "Darlin', you know it's been a mistake

for us to separate.  How I miss you baby."

Chorus

And now the band is playin' slow, I like to sing along.

It's that old George Jones tune, it used to be our favourite song.

Yeah I know...

Chorus

You know....I never really paid attention to songs before.  If it sounded good and I liked it, I just liked it for some reason.

For example....I never really knew what Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" was about until I heard a woman sing it.  All of a sudden I was like......."Woh!  I get it now!".....lol

So.....music obviously is a big part of my life.  Thing is though.....ever since the separation I barely listen to music anymore.

Weird thing because music usually is an escape for people.  For me it just reminds me of the hurt.  See above.

Anyway....hope to see you all further up down the road!
