Lyrics
[Chorus]
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
[Verse 1]
What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme and while the time away
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
Where did it go, that yester-glow?
When we could feel the wheel of life turn our way
[Chorus]
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
[Verse 2]
I had a dream, so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules, yester-fools
And now, now it seems
Those yester-dreams were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
[Chorus]
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
[Verse 3]
When I recall what we had
I feel lost, I feel sad
With nothing but the memory of, oh yester-love
And now, now it seems
Those yester-dreams were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play
[Chorus]
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday, sing it with me
Yester-me, yester-you, yesterday
