That Was Testerday Lyrics - 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 

It's just a slight change of plans 

That was yesterday 

But today life goes on 

No more hiding in yesterday 

'Cause yesterday's gone 

Ooh... 

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 

It's 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 

Ooh...
