Yester-day, all my troubles seemed so far away,

Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh,

I be-lieve in yester - day.

Sud-denly, I'm not half the man I used to be.

There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh,

Yester-day came sudden-ly.

Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say.

I said some-thing wrong, now I long for yester-da-ay- ay - ay.

Yester-day, love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide aw-ay. Oh,

I be-lieve in yester - day. Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm.
