Yesterday

 

Yesterday...
All my troubles¹ seemed² so far away
Now it seems³ as⁴ though⁵ they're here to stay
Oh I believe⁶ in yesterday

Suddenly⁷, I'm not half the man I use to be
There's a shadow⁸ hanging¹⁰ over me
Oh yesterday came¹¹ suddenly

Why she had⁹ to go, I don't know
She wouldn't say, she wouldn't say
I said¹³ something wrong now I long for yesterday

Yesterday...
Love was¹⁴ such¹⁵ an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide¹⁶ away
Oh I believe in yesterday

I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know
She would¹² not 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
I believe in yester...day
Was so far away
Oh yesterday was far away
And I know I can't turn back
'Cause yesterday's gone
