Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday!

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 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!

Oh I believe in yesterday!
