Ricky Nelson - They Don't Give Medals (To Yesterday's Heroes) lyrics

You should have been there when I was twenty You never heard such applause Now I'm twenty-five and hardly anyone knows I'm alive But there's no use in lookin' back Because they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes 'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today I'm goin' to a place and nothing can stand in my way Yesterday is over No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes I know my way now, I'll never look back from this day on Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over And I begin livin' today I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow And I'm gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love I'm gonna reach out and touch every star above Yesterday is over No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes So wrap up that lovin' cup I'm a winner from this day on Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over And I begin livin' today
