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.
