Lyrics
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterdaySuddenly
I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenlyWhy she had to go? I don’t know
She wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long
For yesterdayYesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterdayWhy she had to go? I don’t know
She wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long
For yesterdayYesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
