Yesterday ( J. Lennon, P. McCartney ) Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it look 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. 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.
