Yesterday
Has gone away now
When we used to play
And laugh all day, yeah

Yesterday
Has gone away now
When we used play
Has gone away now

And we were so young
I never thought we'd be apart, yeah
I can't forget that day back when
You came to me and said you're moving

Yesterday
Has gone away now
When we use to play
Has gone away now

Yesterday
Has gone away now
When we used to play
And laugh all day, yeah

Yesterday
Has gone away now




When we use to play
Has gone away now
