I SAW YOU YESTERDAY,
YORBA LINDA
I saw you walking to school, on the bus you rode,
Driving by in your parent’s car, I saw you standing.
I saw you at the baseball field, so very young were you,
At Tastee Freeze on a warm Summer day, remember you and me.
Hanging out at Winchell’s, I saw you when we were teens,
I saw you at Thrifty’s, after school, and maybe a Saturday,
A triple scoop of Ice cream was fifteen cents back when we did dream.
I saw you at the pizza place, at the rat hole skateboarding mean,
I saw you yesterday Yorba Linda, on a playground, children were we.
I saw the hills, I saw your house, I saw you everywhere,
I saw you yesterday, Yorba Linda. when we were all just thirteen.
I saw the sun come up, I saw for years watching it go down,
I saw you, Yorba Linda, from when I found you oh! what a town.
