Just Like Yesterday Lyrics

Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away...
Just like at the time
The things we did made our hearts skip away
Down on my knees I prayed
Kind woman don't go astray
When it seems at times
I've got my mind and heart all straight away...
Just when you've become
A mem'ry of the past and fade away
I see your face and think of all
Of all that we had
With of the things that you brought me
Now was it so bad
... Makes me wonder...
Just like yesterday
You come upon my mind and take it away.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Of all the Bread "filler" material, this is definitely my favorite song. The bridge gets a little jumbled, but the beautifully orchestrated beginning and ending of the song are among the best of Bread's output. James Griffin's voice fits well with the music and I think he was the right choice to sing this one.

I remember hearing this song several years ago. We were riding a taxi. It was a long commute going home. And the traffic was really bad. Then the taxi driver played a Bread album. And I enjoyed it a lot. Then I heard this song, I so love it! But I didn't know the title. Since then I've been searching for it. But no luck. Then earlier while I was watching YouTube I heard this song again. Just Like Yesterday by Bread is really one of the sweetest songs that I ever heard.
