I remember this song from a tape of Gordon Lightfoot that was given to me by a boyfriend back when I was around 16 or so (won't even say how long ago that was!)....can only remember the opening lines. Can anyone tell me what the title of this song is, and where I can find a recording of it?

"It was only yesterday
When I heard the teacher say, patiently,
One and two make three
We were children, you and me
Let us pray
For the ones they call the children of today"

I lost touch with the friend through time and distance, and the tape has long been lost, but it started my love affair with Gordon's music, and I would love to find this song again.

Thanks!
