Ricky Nelson - They Don't Give Medals (To Yesterday's Heroes) lyrics

rate me

(B. Bacharach, H. David)

They don't give medals to yesterday's heroes

'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today

I'm goin' places and nothin' can stand in my way

Yesterday's over

No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes.

I know my way now

I'll never look back from this day on.

I need to borrow one day from tomorrow

And I'm gonna spend it with sunshine and the things that I love

I'm gonna reach out and touch every star up above

Yesterday is over

No they don't give medals to heroes.

So wrap up that lovin' cup, I'm a winner from this day on

Yesterday is over

Can't you see it's over

And I began livin' today.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm...
