Text
Yesterday,
all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don’t know she woldn’t say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
