Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
I believe in yesterday

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 didn'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
I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go, I don't know
She didn't say
I must have 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
'Cause I believe in yesterday

How I long
For yesterday

Terence Edward Parsons, better known as Matt Monro, (1 December 1930 – 7 February 1985) was an English singer who became one of the most popular entertainers on the international music scene throughout the 1950s and 1970s.
