After long enough of being alone

Everyone must face their share of loneliness

In my own time nobody knew

The pain I was going through

And waiting was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came

Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me

You were the dawn breaking the night

The promise of morning light

Filling the world surrounding me

And when I hold you

Baby baby feels like maybe

Things will be all right

Baby baby your love's made me

Free as a song singing forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely

You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

Since I threw my sadness away

Only yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms

Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be

Life waits for us share it with me

The best is about to be

And so much is left for us to see

And when I hold you

Baby baby feels like maybe

Things will be all right

Baby baby your love's made me

Free as a song singing forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely

You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

Since I threw my sadness away

Only yesterday

Only yesterday

Only yesterday

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely

You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
