Yesterday

John Lennon, Paul McCartney

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.
