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 dont 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

Why she had to go, I dont 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
