Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
Now i long for yesterday!
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!
< instrumental break >
Yesterday . . . love was such an easy game to play
Now i need a place to hide away
Oh i believe in yesterday!
Oh i believe in yesterday!
