Lyrics:
1  Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
   Now it look as though they're here to stay.
   Oh, I believe in yesterday.
 
2  Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
   There's a shadow hanging over me.
   Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
 
3  Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
   I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
 
4  Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
   Now I need a place to hide away.
   Oh, I believe in yesterday.
 
5  Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
   I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
 
6  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 mm mm.
