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.
