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 wouldn'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 Why she had to go I don't know; she wouldn't say, I said something wrong now I long, for yesterday-ay-ay-ay Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday!
