Yesterday's Love
David Hasselhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The picture of her still hangs in the hall
The one that I took by the beach
The day that we walked
For hours and hours
Talkin' 'bout how things would be

So many nights she slept in my arms
I never thought it would end
So I keep on telling myself that she's gone
But I can't get her out of my head
Yes I keep on sayin'
These words to myself
Over and over again

She's yesterday's love
She's yesterday's dreams
I know tomorrow will come
But I'm somewhere lost in between
She's yesterday's love
She's yesterday's dreams
I know tomorrow will come
And she'll live her life without me

She said she was mine
To have and to hold
Forever till death do us part
I gave her my love
She carried my name
But I couldn't carry her heart

So I'll just be holding my pillow tonight
Trying to stay warm in this bed
And I'll keep on telling myself that she's gone
But I can't get her out of my head
Yes I'll keep on saying




These words to myself
Over and over again
