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.

Some of his major hits include “Portrait of My Love”, “My Kind of Girl”, “Softly As I Leave You” and “Walk Away”. Many of his songs were produced by George Martin, who also worked extensively with The Beatles.

Monro’s popularity was bolstered in 1963 when he provided the title song for the James Bond film From Russia with Love, with his song of the same name. His songs “Born Free” and “On Days Like These” were also recorded for the screen, featuring in Born Free and The Italian Job respectively.
