Yestrday

Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates

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

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

(Hum to "I believe in yesterday")
