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

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe

In yesterday
