Can you still remember   How it seemed that   We could live forever in a lovers dream?      And falling was the best part   But now, you know, the things you cling to   Your heart can start to grow      You, you're walking away   I've been there now, I know what to say   I'm the king of yesterday      A silly little love song for myself   It's all I ever do, you know, I shine the shell   A pretty little picture, the face of you   You were my setting sun and now you're every view      You, you're walking away   I've been there now, I know what to say   I'm the king of yesterday      Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?   Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay?   Why don't you stay?      Take a little time, throw it on the line   Let me believe that you believe in me   Baby, turn around, look at what I found   You are the one that I want      Take a little time, throw it on the line   Let me believe that you believe in me   Baby, turn around, look at what I found   You were the one that I wanted      And someday, I'll be over on my own   Believing all the legends of the loves I've known      And seeing you in summer   The way we were when you were seventeen   You know, I much preferred you walking away      I've been here, now I know what to say   I'm the king of Yesterday      Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?   Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay with me? Stay      Take a little time, throw it on the line   Let me believe that you believe in me   Baby, turn around, look at what I found   You are the one that I want      Take a little time, throw it on the line   Let me believe that you believe in me   Baby, turn around, look at what I found   You were the one that I wanted   You were the one that I wanted      King of yesterday, king of yesterday
