Can you still remember
How it seemed that we could live forever in a lovers dream?
And falling was the best part
But now you know the things you cling to
Your heart can start to grow
You, you're walking away
I've been there now I know what to say...
I'm the king of yesterday
A silly little love song for myself
It's all I ever do you know I shine the shell
A pretty little picture, the face of you
You were my setting sun and now you're every view
You, you're walking away
I've been there now I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
Why don't, why don't,
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
And someday I'll be over on my own
Believing all the legends of the loves I've known
And seeing you in summer the way we were
When you were seventeen
You know I much preferred you walking away
I've been here, now I know what to say
I'm the King of Yesterday
Why don't, why don't,
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay with me?
Stay
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
You were the one that I wanted
King of yesterday
King of yesterday
