Yesterday, all my trouble 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 stay
I said something wrong
Now, I long for yesterday

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't stay
I said, I must've 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
I believe in yesterday
I believe in yesterday
