The Jam - Yesterday lyrics

[Verse 1] I just can't believe you're gone Still waiting for morning to come Wanna see if the sun will rise even without you by my side When we have so much in store tell me what is it I'm reaching for When we're through building memories I'll hold yesterday in my heart In my heart [Chorus] They can take tomorrow and the plans we made They can take the music that we never played All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday They can take the future that we'll never know They can take the places that we said we would go All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday [Verse 2] You always used to say I should be thankful for every day Heaven knows what the future holds or at least how the story goes (But I never believed them till now) I know I'll see you again I'm sure no it's not selfish to ask for more One more night one more day One more smile on your face but they can't take yesterday [Chorus] They can take tomorrow and the plans we made They can take the music that we never played All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday They can take the future that we'll never know They can take the places that we said we would go All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday [Verse 3] I thought our days would last forever (But it wasn't our destiny) Cause in my mind we had so much time But I was so wrong Now I can believe that I can still find the strength in the moments we made I'm looking back on yesterday [Chorus] They can take tomorrow and the plans we made They can take the music that we never played All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday They can take the future that we'll never know They can take the places that we said we would go All the broken dreams take everything Just take it away But they can never have yesterday [Outro] All the broken dreams take everything But they can never have yesterday
