Sweet Communion

When Will I See you Next?

Thought I'd post this song on my birthday. 
Paul McCartney wrote the music, of course and released it in 1965, the precise year of this photo. I wrote the parody. Enjoy, all you folks who can relate. :) 

Yesterday, all my wrinkles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not freezing like I used to be
Global warming has come over me
Oh, climate change comes suddenly
Why my thighs must grow, I don't know
I couldn't say
Pounds keep piling on 
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, looks were such an easy game to play
Now I pay big bucks to hide my gray
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

All the pretty things
The applause and crowns
Send us clamoring
Then they take us down

I hope I see you on the other side
Where joy is full and love is deep and wide
And no one hurts each other, no one cries
I hope I see you smiling on the other side

In your desperate prayers
Every whispered word
Did you sense Him there?
Did you know He heard?

I hope I see you on the other side
Where hearts are full and hope is satisfied
And the demons that we wrestled all have died
I hope I see you on smiling the other side
I know I'll see you smiling on the other side.
