Yesterday when the world was young
When your face glowed in all its mischief
And my feet danced a merrier step
Oh you were so beautiful then

How you loved to go a-walking
Like a child you clutched my hand
You filled my life with enchantment
For you were so beautiful then

As I gaze upon your likeness
My thoughts wing back again and again
No-one had more than you or I
Yes, you were so beautiful then
