A song inspired by Yesterday by The Beatles
Yesterday
| It doesn't appear to have been a long time ago. When we're still young and still don't know That love has already taken its place. Back in the glorious young days Now that we grow older with time, We can't just think of things sublime We also have to taste a pint of sorrow. And take a glimpse of the morrow. Things changed quickly as we grow. We were only going lazily with the flow. Ignored all great deeds we once had, And often do things that are bad. It was just like yesterday. We thought this feeling an easy game to play. But pain came in all of a sudden. And it's only me who suffered the burden. How I long to live like yesterday. But I have to live for today. Be it happy or full of sorrows 'Cause that's what makes a better tomorrow. |

"Yesterday"
The BeatlesYesterday 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.
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.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
