Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away   Now it looks like 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 hangin' over me   Oh yesterday came suddenly      Why she had to go?   I don't know, she wouldn't say   I said somethin' wrong   Now I long for yesterday      Why she had to go?   I don't know, she wouldn't say   I said, I must have said somethin' 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
