Yesterday's Dream
Justin Bieber

Verse 1:
I remember like it was yesterday,
Where the morning sun rose,
Ever so softly,
Caressing its light onto the world.
And yet the first thing,
My gaze land upon that morning,

Chorus:
I was left awestruck,
The first thing my eyes saw,
Was the first petals,
From those cherry blossoms dancing,
Swirling around you.

Verse 2:
And that was at that moment,
I had my first glance at you,
And from that moment,
I knew.

Chorus:
In my eyes,
And in my mind,
No, in my heart,
I knew,
You had to be,
My missing last piece.

Verse 3:
That you had to be,
No, you were going to be,
The only one,
No, my only one,
And from that day on,

Chorus:
I always tried to get to you,
By trying to,
Strike a conversation,
Compliment your attire,
Always trying to consistently connect with you,
Within the small allotted time,
We had with each other,
Each day of the week.

Verse 4:
Yet it was always never enough,
I could never get the words,
Out of my shutted lips,
As I was too shy, too embarrassed,
To profess and express my love for you.

Bridge:
I never really had the courage,
To speak up,
To say anything really,
I mean,
I always felt my heart was racing,
Pounding against my chest even,
By the mere thought of you,
And you actually being near me,

Verse 5:
Side by side,
Walking through this pinkish path,
Filled with this charming spring breeze.
A warm and treasured place,
Where I could only yearn,
For some kind of reciprocity.

Verse 6:
And as funny as it may be,
I ever so dream of,
No, I ever so wish on that one starry night,
Upon that crossing shooting star,
You saw.

Chorus:
To waltz with you,
Under those same cherry blossoms,
Where we met all those years ago,
To be within your arms,
To feel comforted by your warmth,
To be yours,
And yours only.

Verse 7:
To seal a profound love,
With a kiss,
Both of us,
Living out a romance,
A romance never seen,
Or no one ever believed in,
Like in those fairy tales,
We were told,
When we were oh so young.

Verse 8:
And, from those days onward,
I couldn’t help myself,
Those feelings took roots,
Deeper and deeper,
Within my soul.

Chorus:
I couldn’t help but fall,
Deeper and deeper,
Each day,
Into this enigmatic,
Cryptic depth of emotions,
I had never felt before,
Where there was no return from.

Verse 9:
A place of doubt, yearning,
And dreams,
Yet at the same time,
Unreciprocated feelings.

Verse 10:
And those feelings of hope,
Those unrequired feelings,
All shattered away.
I couldn’t help but drown,
In my sorrow,
That one day,
Where I was supposed to be ready,
When I prepared ever so carefully.

Bridge:
I saw you,
I saw how you looked at her,
Ever so gently,
Ever so tenderly,
In her direction,
Eyes shining so bright,
They could rival,
Any diamonds in the world.

Verse 11:
It was as if your eyes reflected,
The world,
Your entire world.

Chorus:
And it was at that moment,
I knew,
All those repressed feelings,
That I had all those years,
And that all those salty tears,
Overflowing my eyes had to go.

Verse 12:
Clenching behind my back the letter,
I took years to write,
To swallow back all the confidence I had,
Moments ago.

Outro:
I knew,
At that moment,
That I could only ever dream,
To have you.
