Levi Lowrey - Yesterdays Fool lyrics

rate me

The night was as dark

as the eyes of a widow

Behind the cover of a funeral veil

As cold as the four walls

the floor and the steel bars

of a November night prison cell

So I turned away from a front door

slammed closed and locked tight

as the one to her soul

And wondered how the bright flame

of love in her heart

could be snuffed out as black as the cold

Said don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow

Tomorrow's a far cry from forever

but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from over

the love that you've shown me in mercy

If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow

I'm yesterday's fool

We danced for hours

and I bought you flowers

from a man that had no place to live

With a rose in your hair

missin' worries and cares

we retired to a warm hotel bed

I keep a dry petal

and a Gideon's Bible

To remind me of love in true form

cause on nights like tonight

when the cold starts to bite

these memories all keep me warm

Don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow

Tomorrow's a far cry from forever

but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from sober

a long way from over your sweet smile

If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow

I'm yesterday's fool

My thoughts may be hazy

or maybe I'm crazy

for holding true love

you let go

It's like tryin' to hold fire

that once was desire

in the cold rain

and hard drivin' snow

But it seems it's the same

since the dawning of days

It's the eternal price

that we pay

You can blame it on Adam

or blame it on Me

I guess Man's just a fool either way

Don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow

Tomorrow's a far cry from forever

but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from over

the love that you showed me in mercy

If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow

I'm yesterday's fool

If you walk out tonight then tomorrow

I'm yesterday's fool
