Many's the time I've been moved or inclined to write
Maybe a song about love
Taking the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love
Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along
Always right with the world and me
Until love went wrong

CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

Casually dressed,
I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well
Slow feet on a moving street
And the folks I meet all note (they all note)
I ain't half as happy (half as happy) as I was a week ago

CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, yes
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, right
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
