Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
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.
