Lyrics
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.
I just can't believe you're gone
Still waiting for morning to come
Wanna see if the sun will rise
Even without you by my side
When we have so much in store
Tell me what is it I'm reaching for
When we're through building memories
I'll hold yesterday in my heart
In my heart
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
You always used to say
I should be thankful for every day
Heaven knows what the future holds, or least how the story goes
But I never believed them till now
I know I'll see you again I'm sure
No, it's not selfish to ask for more
One more night, one more day, one more smile on your face
But they can't take yesterday
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
I thought our days would last forever
(But it wasn't our destiny)
'Cause in my mind we had so much time
But I was so wrong
Now I can believe that
I can still find the strength in the moments we made
I'm looking back on yesterday
(Repeat Chorus)
