YESTERDAY

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now itlooks as though they here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There is 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 and 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

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
