That Was Yesterday Lyrics
I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day
You were the only one
The only friend that I could count on
How could I watch you walk away?
I'd give anything to have you here today
But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that you're still by my side
But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone
Love, my love, I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life, that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair
But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone
Goodbye yesterday
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday with live on
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day
The only friend that I could count on
How could I watch you walk away?
I'd give anything to have you here today
And dream that you're still by my side
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life, that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
Love was torn from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday with live on

This song reminds me of a relationship I was in, I wish I could forget about "yesterday"! I have physically moved on, but never emotionally. I will always hold a part of you in my heart and soul forever CEC!
The absolute hidden 80s song, in my opinion, a song about a friend, a confident, nothing related to sex, living so many experiences and adventures together, just the friend disappeared, maybe died of drugs( typical 80s matter) or any other reason, pure feeling and nostalgia, it could only be made in the era of romanticism.
This song is about ex wife #3 and how it went from love to desire to regret. The love and emotions involved in the marriage. I left her but looking back I wish just once she would have said, don't go .. she didn't so I left and so the last line says it all.... Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart Yesterday with live on
