Alan Smith, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay
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 she had to go I don't know she 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.
