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'm 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
