Lyrics

Yesterday

[Verse 1]

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as if they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Verse 2]

Suddenly

I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hangin' over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

[Bridge]

Why did she have to go?

I don't know, she didn't say

I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

[Verse 3]

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I'll have to find a hideaway

Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Bridge]

I did something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

[Verse 3]

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I'll have to find a hideaway

Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Outro]

I believe in yesterday
