Take Me Back To Yesterday By: Noah Eaton 12/6/01 I remember days of Pepsi and Green River in the bottle When we tossed our Slinkys down the stairs and the ball game was just a dollar Look into the kaleidoscope, watch your world waddle When the paperboy and milkman gave you a friendly holler I remember when we ran through the tall golden cornfields Making love in the green grass throughout the day From the tip of my tongue I could taste the teal Of every sun-shining day just a heartbeat away Do you remember ten-cent Bazooka Chewing Gum? Trains, Candy Land, Bye-Bye Birdie and the Mystery Mobile? Back to when we weren’t dancing to the same drum And we played our Barbies and Matchbox cars on the hill Take me back to when everything was simple like Robinson Caruso Ice cream wagons, kites, jacks, and Yellow Submarine When we would daydream away always and be made in the shade and play in the snow Before we worshipped Maxim magazine Do you remember when we sung “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” When we had our first kiss in the Tunnel Of Love? When Thomas the Tank Engine said he thought he could in his bold tone Ain’t that enough? Take me back to yesterday To those good ol’ times I miss so much Take me back to yesterday To those years I love… |

Yes Noah, many good days are behind us at this point in time. It is saddening, but its when we had so much fun. However there is nothing more to do than to create new lasting memories we can look back at in the future my friend! From your good friend Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |
