​The Jam
Yesterday
[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 had 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 (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 'til 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 (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 (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 (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 (Take everything)
But they can never have yesterday
[Outro]
All the broken dreams, take everything
But they can never have yesterday
