Lyrics: That Was Yesterday
Album: Very Best & Beyond
Artist: Foreigner
 

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
