lyrics
LYRICS:
Yesterday’s girl looks in the mirror to see
Lines drawn by the years, lines drawn by tears and misery
Yes, I’ve had my share, of heartbreak and oh, you should know
Cause you were my first love, and you were the first to let me go
Yesterdays’ boy now, what you doing uptown?
You’re looking pretty good, all things considered
The years have been kind, and the lovelight’s still shining in your eyes
Can your love save me now, kid?
No, I don’t like our chances
What else to do but walk down the Avenue?
Take my hand, babe walk me down the Avenue
The years have gone by and the lovelight’s still shining in your eyes
Cause you were my first love and you were the first to say goodbye
Can your love save me now, kid?
No, I don’t like our chances
What else to do but walk down the Avenue?
Oh, what else to do but walk down the avenue?
Oh, take my hand, baby, walk me down the Avenue
Yesterday’s girl looks into your eyes to see
The trace of the boy that I used to be
