That Was Yesterday
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 2 (1968-1974) [Bear Family] [1995]
That was yesterday, that was yesterday.
Yesterday I loved you today it's just the same
And I still wish that things have never changed
Then you promised your love for me was here to stay
But sadly I remember that was yesterday.
That was yesterday that was yesterday
When we said our last goodbye
Today you're with your new love my heart's been pushed away
You once told you loved me but that was yesterday.
--- Instrumental ---
That was yesterday, that was yesterday...
