This was one of the first songs I composed in college. As I worked on the melody, a simple waltz emerged. Julian Priester (a fellow musician and former Cornish professor) overhead someone else playing the song one day and commented, “Who wrote that? That’s a nice song right there.” I love that comment.

lyrics
In my dreams you are there holding me through the night. For yesterday you went away now I to wait for your return today or tomorrow.
When I rise there I see the sweet love of my dreams. Yesterday has gone away and how could it be that today has become tomorrow.
