Levi Lowrey Yesterdays Fool
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
