That Was Yesterday Lyrics By 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 that 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
    because 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
