[Intro]
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

[Verse 1]
What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

[Chorus]
Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

[Verse 2]
I had a dream so did you life
Was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester folls and now

[Chorus]
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday

[Bridge]
When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play

[Outro]
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday[x2]
Sing with me
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
One more time

Stevie Wonder

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.
