I thought I knew you well
  But all this time I could never tell
  I let you get away
  Haunts me every night and every day
    You were the only one
  The only friend that I counted on
  How could I watch you walk away
  I'd give anything to have you here today
    But now I stand alone with my pride
  And dream that you're still by my side
    But that was yesterday
  I had the world in my hands
  But it's not the end of my world
  Just a slight change of plans
    That was yesterday
  But today life goes on
  No more hiding in yesterday
  'Cause yesterday's gone
    Love, my love I gave it all
  Thought I saw the light
  When I heard you call
  Life that we both could share
  Has deserted me
  Left me in despair
    But now I stand alone with my pride
  Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
    But that was yesterday
  Love was torn from my hands
  But it's not the end of my world
  Just a little hard to understand
    That was yesterday
  But today life goes on
  You won't find me in yesterday's world
  Now yesterday's gone
    Goodbye yesterday
  Now it's over and done
  Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
  Yesterday will live on
