I - thought I knew you well
but all this time I could never tell
I - let you get away
haunts me every night and every day

instr.

You - were the only one
the only friend that I counted on
how could I watch you walk away
I'd give anything to have you here today
but now - I stand alone with my pride
and dream - that you're still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
but it's not the end of my world
just a slight change of plans
that was yesterday
but today life goes on
no more hiding in yesterday
cause yesterday's gone

instr.

Love - my love I gave it all
thought I saw the light when I heard you call
life - that we both could share
has deserted me left me in despair
but now - I stand alone with my pride
fighting back the tears - I never let myself cry

But that was yesterday
love was torn from my hands
but it's not the end of my world
just a little hard to understand
that was yesterday
but today life goes on
you won't find me in yesterday's world
now yesterday's gone

instr.

But that was yesterday
love was torn from my hands
but it's not the end of my world
just a little hard to understand
that was yesterday
but today life goes on
you won't find me in yesterday's world
now yesterday's gone

Goodbye yesterday
now it's over and done
still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
yesterday will live on
