Story behind the song
As usual, there is a lot of me in this -- it is not always easy to put the past behind and treat each new relationship like the first. I guess I am guilty of expecting people to walk away, even before they have started to get close. I tried to put myself in their shoes in this lyric...
Lyrics
Forget Yesterday
By Dawn Sinclair
V1
There’s one thousand miles
Between Maybe and No Way
There’s oceans to cross in between
But if you say the word
You know I will be there
To show just what loving you means
V2
I understand your hesitation
You’ve walked this road before
But I’m not the one
Who destroyed all your dreams?
And cut you down deep to the core
Chorus
What would it take to show you?
What do I have to say?
How can we meet tomorrow?
If you won’t release today
Tell me, what are the words I must say
To make you forget yesterday.
V3
And if I could undo the wrongs that he did
You know that I would, and much more
I’d show you that trust
Is a wide open gateway
Not a closed and bolted front door
Chorus
What would it take to show you?
What do I have to say?
How can we meet tomorrow?
If you won’t release today
Tell me, what are the words I must say
To make you forget yesterday.
Outtro
My love I see my future
And you are standing there
There in your eyes, renewed faith
All of our life to share
Trust me; these are the words I will say
To make you forget yesterday
