YESTERDAY...
THE BEATLES
NOW HERE'S MY VERSION..
Yesterday, I was swiftly sailing far away,
Now I guess I'm home to stay.
Our cruise ship fun was yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm staying home where I should be.
Scruffy purrs and plays with me.
But yesterday was fun you see.
Yes, we had to go,
It was just a holiday,
Lounging in the sun,
Lazy days spent yesterday.
Yesterday we had many happy hours in play
Now our cruising ship has gone away.
We're safely home I'm glad to say.
Now we're here, the place where we're content to be.
We love our home and Scruffy too,
So we'll sail again another day.....

We spent a lovely relaxing cruise from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta for one week over Christmas. I read three books, drew two pieces of artwork and held long conversations with fellow passengers. The seas were calm and the sun was warm. The food was, of course, fabulous and way more than we needed. Had a lovely time, but always glad to be home.

Love that Beatles' tune....

What a delightful take on my beloved Beatles Yesterday song, one of my favourites. I sang that once when I played 'Jack' in the Jack and the Beanstalk Pantomime. It was an amateur production, I was in the play group that was founded in the basement of an old building in West Derby Liverpool, called Lowlands....The Beatles played there in their early days,
Golden days! Thank you for evoking some very happy memories.
Best wishes,

Lovely, Chris! So glad you had a good time! I will try and call today....
Happy you had such a good time!
Love your version of Yesterday!
Did you know that Paul McCartney first wrote the tune and used "Scrambled Eggs" instead of the word "Yesterday" until he came up with the lyrics? You must know that, but I think of it every time I hear "Yesterday" and it makes me hungry! HA!
Happy New Year!
Glad to hear you had a good trip. Nice lyrics. That song fits nicely.
Glad you had a lovely trip, but it's always nice to be home again. No place like home.
Sounds like a lovely restful holiday.
