Lyrics for Song: Yesterday
Lyrics for Album: Moonglow [2003]



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.


Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm


Yesterday
