[Verse 1]
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now, it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

[Verse 2]
Suddenly, I don't have the laugh, I used to weep
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday, came suddenly

[Verse 3]
Why'd she have to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now, I long for yesterday

[Verse 4]
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
