Lyrics:
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't sayI said something wrong, now I long for yesterday! Yesterday . . . all my troubles seemed so far awayNow it looks as though they're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday! Suddenly . . . I'm not half the man I used to beThere's a shadow hanging over meOh yesterday came suddenly! Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't sayI said something wrong, now I long for yesterday! Yesterday . . . love was such an easy game to playNow I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday! Oh I believe in yesterday! Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1966
