"You and I and Yesterday"

"Man is the only creature whose emotions
are entangled with his memory..."
That's the universal truth of it all,
that's the cause of heartaches and fall,
all the pleasures and treasures to recall...

For, "Bitter or sweet, we don't want
any part of life to be really over;"
Forty years..., or even sixty...
we'ld try to reach down
to the depths of our memory
to relive each sweet or bitter moment
that time and space would not forget,
that our heart would not let rest or let go...

For we are creatures with emotions,
which are entangled with our memories...
