dianne reeves – the first five chapters lyrics
yesterdays… yesterdays… yesterdays
if you want to clap your hands it’s okay
if you want to snap your fingers it’s all right
such a nice groove
for some nice folks
i want to tell you a story
about how i started out
i believe the year was 1976
when i decided to leave my home you see
it was time for me to go out into the world and to seek my fortune
i had a choice
i could either be starved and be cold
and move to the east
or starve and be hot
so hot you see and move to the west
i picked la
i wanna share with you the first five chapters of my life
chapter one
i was walking down the street
with my head held high and my pockets filled with dreams
and i feel into a hole
i said to myself who put that hole there
whoever put it there sure is mean
so i picked myself up out of the hole
dusted myself off and went on my merry way
chapter two
i was walking down the same street
feeling good
and i fell into a hole
i said to myself who put this hole there
whoever put it there sure is mean
so i climbed up out of the hole and i dusted myself off went on my way
and remember thinking not everybody loves you like your mother
chapter three
i was walking down the same street
when i fell, oh yes i fell i tumbled hard this time
down the same hole
i said to myself
i know this hole
i’ve been here before and i don’t want to come back no more
so i picked myself up out of the hole
dusted myself off
said hole you ain’t gonna get me no more
well… chapter 4
i was walking down the same street
i like to flurt with danger
that’s my nature
but this time i saw the hole and i jumped over the hole
i said hole you won’t get me no more
i kicked some dirt into the hole
well now
that i learned how to live
i’m living what i learned
so i’m in chapter five right here right now
and i’m walking down a new street
feelin’ healthy
feelin’ fine
feelin’ prosperous oh the whole the world is mine
i take my time
do as i please
please when i want to
it sure feels good
they say life begins after that number and it sure does
yesterday yesterday yesterdays
i love yesterdays
yesterdays
now i’m thinking about today
