Intro:
Seasons are changing  faster
This year
And I can&#039;t remember the
Last  time you were here
The East Wind is blowing
Sand in my eyes
Drying my lips and my
Last compromise
Everyone told me it would
Happen this way
But I&#039;m still holding on to
Yesterday
Bridge:
I was the shepherd
You were the flock in my heart
I let you graze there
As you tore me apart
There are still shadows all
Over my skin
In the places your body used
To fit in
It&#039;s not that I&#039;m hoping
I never was one to pray
But I&#039;m still holding on to
Yesterday
Bridge:
Far in the horizon
Dawn is stirring awake
Morning is coming with its
Familiar ache
I remember the last time
You stood in this place
You didn&#039;t have nothing to say
You couldn&#039;t even look at my face
I know nothing has changed
And you still have nothing to say
But I&#039;m still holding on to
Yesterday
Bridge:
I&#039;m in a portrait of you
But I&#039;m nowhere around
You got your foot in a square
Of light on the ground
I guess that it&#039;s summer
And the sun entered the room
The seeds of our silence
Have all started to bloom
I hear you&#039;re building a
Woman where  we used to play
But I&#039;m still  holding on
To  yesterday
I hear you&#039;re building a
Woman where  we used to play
But I&#039;m still  holding on
To  yesterday
I&#039;m still  holding on
To  yesterday
Bridge:
I&#039;m still  holding on
To  yesterday

Holding on to yesterday

by Asaf Avidan

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Intro:

Seasons are changing faster

This year

And I can't remember the

Last time you were here

The East Wind is blowing

Sand in my eyes

Drying my lips and my

Last compromise

Everyone told me it would

Happen this way

But I'm still holding on to

Yesterday

Bridge:

I was the shepherd

You were the flock in my heart

I let you graze there

As you tore me apart

There are still shadows all

Over my skin

In the places your body used

To fit in

It's not that I'm hoping

I never was one to pray

But I'm still holding on to

Yesterday

Bridge:

Far in the horizon

Dawn is stirring awake

Morning is coming with its

Familiar ache

I remember the last time

You stood in this place

You didn't have nothing to say

You couldn't even look at my face

I know nothing has changed

And you still have nothing to say

But I'm still holding on to

Yesterday

Bridge:

I'm in a portrait of you

But I'm nowhere around

You got your foot in a square

Of light on the ground

I guess that it's summer

And the sun entered the room

The seeds of our silence

Have all started to bloom

I hear you're building a

Woman where we used to play

But I'm still holding on

To yesterday

I hear you're building a

Woman where we used to play

But I'm still holding on

To yesterday

I'm still holding on

To yesterday

Bridge:

I'm still holding on

To yesterday
