Yesterday is Gone

Once in a very great while, I dream songs. I typically think they're not too bad, but just as typically, forget to write them down never to be heard from again. This is one I wrote down. The song is upbeat, not-so-happy song. This will put it in the same category as "Take Me in Your Arms" by the Doobie Brothers (same category, not the same talent level) and my own "Thinkin' 'bout YOU". Hopefully, you'll like it. :) I should note that not all my songs of loss are about My Jody. I haven't had much luck with relationships, so I have LOTS of material and writing is my therapy.
