Yesterday Evening - Candi Staton

Yesterday evening

After I’d gone to bed

I lay awake thinking

Of the things that you said

When you left me

You let me down easy

Said you still love me

But you had to go

So I cried a little

But then realized

That the love we had between us

Could never die

And when my hopes and dreams begin to fade

The world decides to rain on my parade

I think of you and all the love we shared

And it takes away my sadness

And fills my heart with gladness

I still recall

The pain and the misery

The hurt that I felt

When you walked out on me

It hurt me

Somehow it seems although

You’re gone away

Your love remains in my heart

I feel it, I know it is there

It’s so good this understanding

That you’ll always care

And when my hopes and dreams begin to fade

The world decides to rain on my parade

I think of you and all the love we shared

And it takes away my sadness

And fills my heart with gladness

I know I’ve got it

The feeling is there

It’s your love

That keeps me carrying on

That’s why I’m happy

Just knowing you care

It’s for sure

Your love will always be strong
