I Saved A Couple Yesterdays
I saved a couple yesterdays and put them in a box.
I keep them safely stored beneath my bed.
I'm keeping them for times when I would like to reminisce
with something more than thoughts inside my head.
The box is not a big one so there's only so much room.
I think that's probably how it ought to be.
I've got some birthday parties and some holidays and such,
and a few things that are special, just to me.
Some yesterdays I saved might seem unusual to some.
It's not all big events that I replay.
One’s a rainy morning when I still was very young
and I saw my first rainbow on that day
And that's one of those days that over time just slips away,
so I kept it and I put it in the box.
It's nice to know I've got a few that stay just as they were
without the curse of calendars and clocks.
So every now and then I'll grab the box and pick one out
and I go back and have that day again.
It's really quite a treat to take a break from where you are
and spend a little time with where you've been.
