Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it look 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.

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 don’t 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.
