I Smiled Yesterday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Though I smiled yesterday,
You know I'm not gonna smile anymore today
(Since you went away from me) How I miss you
(Since you went away from me) I long to kiss you
Until you are back with me, I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no
Though I laughed yesterday,
You know I'm not gonna laugh anymore today
(Every moment we're apart) I get so lonely
(Every moment we're apart) I love you only
Until you are back with me, I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no
And baby, every day without you is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need you, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you, won't you let me smile again
Like I smiled yesterday,
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me) I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me) Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me, I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no
And baby, every day without you is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need you, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you, won't you let me smile again
Like I smiled yesterday,
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me) I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me) Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me, I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no
I'm begging you:
(Baby hurry back to me) I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me) Your tender lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me) I'm begging you:
(Baby hurry back to me) I need your lovin'
