Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks like 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



[Chorus:]

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



[Chorus]
