    Lyrics:
    I don't wanna hear about it anymore
    It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore
    There's a fire in my heart
    A pounding in my brain
    It's driving me crazy
    We don't need to talk about it anymore
    Yesterday's just a memory
    Can we close the door
    I just made one mistake
    I didn't know what to say
    When you called me baby
    Don't say goodnight
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way
    Can you take me high enough
    To fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over
    Yesterday's just a memory
    (Yesterday's just a memory and)
    I don't want to live without you anymore
    Can't you see I'm in misery
    And you know for sure
    I would live and die for you
    And I know just what to do when you call me baby
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over
    Yesterday's just a memory
    I'm running
    I was running for the door
    The next thing I remember
    I was running back for more, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever
    Oh, whoa, all the way (all the way, all the way, yeah)
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over (fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Can you take me high enough
    Won't you fly me over (won't you fly me over) yesterday
    Can you take me high enough
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

      Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
      And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
      1. Believe that God sent His Son
      (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
      2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
       3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
      4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
      I'm Praying for you and you are loved!
      (Romans 10:9-13))

      @Mr.Lightshine I am a Christian and a very strong believer. I see the goodness in everyone that they are capable of. That's why it is important to share the gospel of Christ Jesus. This world is coming to its end and Lucifer is taking our children, but in the name of Jesus he will not have mine. They have not only been saved and baptized, but believe it to be true!

Even the two stations (1 local, 1 national) that did sometimes play metal only did it occasionally, and most stations were the worst kind of commercial, wimpy, yuppy, pathetic pop and regurgitated soft-cock rock travesties that you could not imagine even in your worst nightmares. In '91 I was an angry young man!!! And most of it had to do with Adelaide radio.

Same with 'Headed For a Heartbreak' by Winger, 'When I See You Smile' by Bad English, etc I heard excerpts from the songs in a commercial a handful of times 30 years ago and they resonated with me so much that one day the memory came to me and I found them .😂😂😭😭
