LYRICS

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,

now it looks as through 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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

Yesterday love was such and easy game to play now I need a place to hide away oh
