Ricky Nelson Lyrics
"They Don't Give Medals (To Yesterday's Heroes)"

(B. Bacharach, H. David)

They don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today
I'm goin' places and nothin' can stand in my way
Yesterday's 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.

I need to borrow one day from tomorrow
And I'm gonna spend it with sunshine and the things that I love
I'm gonna reach out and touch every star up above
Yesterday is over
No they don't give medals to 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 began livin' today.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm...
