    Yesterday

    by: P.p. Arnold

    Yesterday,
    All my troubles seemed so far away,
    Now i need a place to hide away,
    Oh, I believe in yesterday.
    Suddenly,
    I'm not half the man I used to be,
    There's a shadow hanging over me,
    Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
    Why he had to go I don't know,
    he wouldn'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,
    Oh, I believe in yesterday.
    Why he had to go I don't know,
    he wouldn'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,
