Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Footsteps in the sand
A hand within a hand
Sharing all the dreams we knew
That was yesterday
And yesterday was you
[Verse 2]
I can still recall
The magic of it all
Funny how a dream goes on
That was yesterday
But yesterday is gone
[Chorus]
Come home, love
I've been waiting at the door to greet you there
Come home, love
When tomorrow comes, I'll meet you there
[Verse 3]
Raindrops on the corn
The bright surprise of dawn
The smile that always said hello
That was yesterday
And still, we didn't know
[Verse 4]
Rumours that appеar
Bring heartaches and the tears
Strange how one bеlieves a lie
That was yesterday
Today, we say goodbye
[Chorus]
Come home, love
I've been waiting at the door to greet you there
Come home, love
When tomorrow comes, I'll meet you there
[Verse 5]
So we simply pray
That somewhere in the way
We May find the truth once more
Bring back yesterday
The way it was before
[Chorus]
Come home, love
I've been waiting at the door to greet you there
Come home, love
When tomorrow comes, I'll meet you there
Come home, love
I've been waiting at the door to greet you there
Come home, love
When tomorrow comes, I'll meet you there
