Starting at the river's edge and heading up the stream
Don't you know I had a day dream that this world was getting younger
Walking backwards, yesterday remembers
And there I was with you again love in a day before you moved away
This time I listened better and your words lit up the day
I heard you paint the picture of what you wanted to do
And I knew everything you wished for was going to come true
Walking Backwards, yesterday remembers
Listen to the promise of true love
It always was and will be
I'm moving in a circle and every turn is a year
What pulls me along is a song and it's your own sweet voice I hear
You bring me into the back yard and here are all our old friends
We're under the shade and the radio plays as we make our hopeful plans
Walking backwards, yesterday remembers
Listen to the promise of true love
It always was and always will be
Starting at the river's edge and heading up the stream
I mean most of what we worked for came to fruition
And if I ever forget where I intended to go
I'll take a walk back to where we were and I'll know
Walking backwards, yesterday remembers
