When I thought of yesterday
It only brought me pain
For today is full of sunshine
And yesterday was rain.

I venture yet to wonder why
I should think upon the past
Of things that have brought me pain
Those things will never last.

For yesterday has left behind
All that it could bring
Whether it was good or bad
Today means not a thing.

For yesterday is in the grave
Buried in what is past
And hopefully not to rise again
Upon my soul to cast.

Oh yesterday, oh yesterday
I'm glad that you are gone
For I found in yesterday
Was a time I felt alone.
