Lyr. Add: ,b>YESTERDAYS
Otto Harbach, lyrics; Jerome Kern, music; 1933

Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love.

Then gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Joyous free in flame and life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays.

Repeat two verses (Billie Holiday).

From the musical "Roberta." "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was premiered in the same musical.

Several versions on youtube. Irene Dunn was one of the first to record.
