That Was Yesterday - Foreigner

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 I counted 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 will live on
