Wasn't It Yesterday 1917

Grandma is seventy four
Grandpa is eighty or more,
through all sorts of weather,
those dear souls grew old together,
oft times like children at play
I hear Grandpa say:

Wasn't it yesterday
when I first met you?
Wasn't it yesterday
when you became my bride?
I drove to town in a hack
and brought the minister back,
to your father's rickety shack
where the knot was tied.
It seems but yesterday
and now we're old and grey
when you're in love,
how the time does fly!

Wasn't it yesterday
when I first met you?
Wasn't it yesterday
when you became my bride?
I drove to town in a hack
and brought the minister back,
to your father's rickety shack
where the knot was tied.
It seems but yesterday
and now we're old and grey
when you're in love,
how the time does fly!
