Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday 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
Oh, I believe in yesterday
