Yesterday Becomes Today

‍ ‍Yesterday Becomes Today

Songwriter’s Story

“Yesterday Becomes Today” looks back on those younger days when summer felt endless and growing older seemed impossible. The song begins with running barefoot, chasing endless summer skies, carefree days, burgers, shakes and fries. Drive-in movies glowing after dark, and Polaroids that captured young love before anyone thought to call it a memory. Those teenage dreams felt permanent then, like something time could never touch. But the chorus turns the page: the years have quietly slipped away, and the same couple who once chased summer now stands watching their own beautiful children play. The road of life keeps moving in one direction, and before we know it, yesterday has become today.

The second verse follows that road into adulthood, where army boots, wedding rings and baby shoes mark the miles along the way. Work, family and responsibility arrive almost unnoticed, until one day the mirror reflects a face older than the one still living in memory.

The bridge carries the heart of the song: we spend so much of life reaching for tomorrow,believing there will always be more time, while the days seem to crawl and the years somehow wave goodbye. “Yesterday Becomes Today” is a bittersweet reminder that life does not pause - but love, laughter and the memories we gather along the way are what make the journey worth taking.

We ran barefoot chasing endless summer skies

Carefree days, country roads, burgers, shakes and fries

Drive-in movies, secrets shared around a campfire's glow

Polaroids and teenage dreams, swore we'd never outgrow

Who knew those years would fade away

We'd wake up watching our beautiful children play

As the years roll on we live on yesterday

This road we're traveling only runs one way

Yesterday becomes today

College town, army boots, wedding rings, baby shoes

Punch a clock, raise our babies, try to pay our dues

Middle age came rolling in, where did all the years go

Gaze in the mirror, that forever-young face won't show

Who knew those years would fade away

We'd wake up watching our beautiful children play

As the years roll on we live on yesterday

This road we're traveling only runs one way

Yesterday becomes today

We spent forever

Chasing tomorrow

And the days crawled on by

But the years waved bye bye

Who knew those years would fade away

We'd wake up watching our beautiful children play

As the years roll on we live on yesterday

This road we're traveling only runs one way

Yesterday becomes today

Yesterday becomes to
