Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it look 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

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, mmmm
