Story behind the song
Wise thoughts and good advice to myself from when I was twenty something. I still agree, but have not always been true to them...
Lyrics
Though no-one would say you can bring back the past
Apparently sometimes you'd like it to last
When sometimes the present gets boring and grey
You tend to turn your attention to previous days
Then back in the world to which once you belonged
everything seems so right; nothing is wrong
But what have you learned from your trips back in time?
Only that things that you've lost won't ever be found
There are certainly moments of pleasure to come
But when you recognise them, they're already gone
Our memory gives us a different view
And I'm afraid not always entirely true
So don't attempt to make it the way it has been
by trying to set up some yesterday's scene
No days will be better that those you recall
The secret lies in never comparing at all
