Since you left me, I never really tried   To put my life to where it should belong   And I've always let the past gone by   I'm realizing that it could be wrong     But now I fin'lly knew   I had to let it go   To make way for a brighter tomorrow     So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind   And fin'lly I've made up my mind   So let the mem'ries stay away   And think about today   I'm leavin' yesterday behind   'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more   The way I did before     Since I know that I never will forget   The memories that made my yesterday   I will try not to let it interfere   The choices I will make along the way     'Cause I'm not livin' in a world of fantasy   I'm here now in the world of reality      So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind   And fin'lly I've made up my mind   So let the mem'ries stay away   And think about today   I'm leavin' yesterday behind   'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more   The way I did before     So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind   And fin'lly I've made up my mind   So let the mem'ries stay away   And think about today   I'm leavin' yesterday behind   'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more   Just the way I did before
