The first time that I saw you
You were dancin' on the beach
Poetry in motion
You just seemed so out of reach
And the waves were breakin' 'round you
In the California sunset

I made a wish to know you
And touch your golden hair
You turned around and looked at me
And paradise was there
Baby I remember the way you took my hand
Yesterday

Time stood still
As we walked into the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday

Time stood still
As we made love through the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday

It seems just like yesterday

I thought that I'd seen love before
What you showed me
Well that was something more
Love found two strangers walking on the shore
We threw our watches in the sea
I looked at you, you looked at me
And time stood still

Time stood still

We found a little seaside bar
High above the rocks
I was drinking white wine
And you were doing shots
I wondered if you'd stay the night
You just took my hand

We made a fire on the beach that night
And watched the seagulls circle
In the morning light
Maybe there are some things
We're not meant to understand
Anyway

Time stood still
As we walked into the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday

Time stood still
As we made love through the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday

Yesterday

Time stood still
As we made love through the night together
The memory is locked in our hearts forever
It seems just like yesterday

I looked at you, you looked at me
And time stood still
