Time passes by, not a moment I don't think of you.
A smile across my face, and this I owe to you too.
Always on my mind, and yet being pulled away.
So I retreat into the past, echoes of yesterday.

Life slowly drifting forward, ripping us apart.
I don't know if I like my future, it's breaking my heart.
But know this, I'll always love you...that's all I can say.
And once more I turn to the past, echoes of yesterday.

I remember long ago, when you were by my side.
I wish that it could be like that now, you are the love of my life.
So now I do what's right, no more turning the wrong way.
I'm releasing the past, echoes of yesterday.

Now I turn to the future, it's time to take a risk.
I'm asking you to be with me, until the very end.
No more will I retreat into the past, it causes too much sorrow.
The echoes of yesterday are fading, so now I focus on tomorrow.
