Analysis of A While Ago by russ mckay
It's seldom now that you remember
Whether years ago or last December
I hope that somewhere in your mind
Are memories that you've left behind
Those happy thoughts we made together
A vow of love to last forever
Sharing good times with the bad
Vowing now to NOT be sad
Two days ago you said my name
Yet no two days are quite the same
But today you made it all worthwhile
When I walked in and saw you smile
YOU are the YES in yesterday
