THAT WAS YESTERDAY

Foreigner (The Very Best Of Foreigner)

I thought I knew you well, but all this time I could never tell 
I let you get away, haunts me every night and every day 

You were the only one, the only friend I counted on 
How could I watch you walk away, I'd give anything to have you here today 

But now I stand alone with my pride, and dream that you're still by my side 

But that was yesterday, I had the world in my hands 
But it's not the end of my world, just a slight change of plans 
That was yesterday, but today life goes on 
No more hiding in yesterday, 'cause yesterday's gone 

Love, my love I gave it all, thought I saw the light, when I heard you call 
Life that we both could share has deserted me, left me in despair 

But now I stand alone with my pride 
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry 

But that was yesterday, love was torn from my hands 
But it's not the end of my world, just a little hard to understand 
That was yesterday, but today life goes on 
You won't find me in yesterday's world, now yesterday's gone 

Goodbye yesterday, now it's over and done 
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart, yesterday will live on
