Here are the words to the song:
ON THE WINGS OF YESTERDAY
(c) 2008 Bobby Sweet Jr.
Goodbye don't come easy
When it's time for moving on
I guess it's the memories
That's what makes a house a home
Through the tears and the laughter
These four walls held our lives
Filled to the rafters
With new beginnings and goodbyes
After all that we've been through
Part of me belongs to you
I am bound to fly away
On the wings of yesterday
It's not that I'm losing
But it's so hard to make a change
The hard part is choosing
To waive goodbye to what has been
After all that we've been through
Part of me belongs to you
I am bound to fly away
On the wings of yesterday
So I'll hold on to the memories
And all the good times we knew
Though I am left longing
I am more because of you
After all that we've been through
Part of me belongs to you
Tomorrow I will fly away
On the wings of yesterday
