[Chorus 1: Kimberly Brewer & Stevie Wonder]
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday

[Verse 1: Kimberly Brewer]
We had a love for all seasons
At least that's how it used to be
There was no time, space, or reason
More special to us than we
My love continued to flourish
As a flower blooms in spring
Then you tried to play love for silly
But the loser is the fool who doesn't play
Love by the rules

[Chorus 2: Kimberly Brewer]
If she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Because I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Because the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday

[Chorus 1: Kimberly Brewer & Stevie Wonder]
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday

[Verse 2: Kimberly Brewer]
There was a time when forever
Was commonplace for me and you
Laughing, loving, sharing, caring
Seemed to be made just for us two
Oh, but I kept on building the dream world
That I thought was you and I
Sorry, I'm sadly mistaken
Because our castle in the sky
Has turned into a mere goodbye

[Chorus 2: Kimberly Brewer]
Well, if she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Because I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Because the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday
Oh, if she breaks your heart
I will send a robin to sing happy tunes for you
Because I may not be around to do the things
I used to do
And if you awake to find you're lost
I will send a glad star to lead you on your way
Because the love I felt inside
Has gone away with yesterday

[Chorus 1: Kimberly Brewer & Stevie Wonder]
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday
My love is gone with yesterday

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
