Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, (suddenly - whooooo)
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly


* Why'd she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday (yesterday whoooo)
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh. I believe in yesterday


* Repeat
Ohhhhh.................
