Yesterday – For a Friend We Lost Today

An edit of the old Beatles song. RIP Tanner.

Yesterday,
Life was such an easy game to play,
Now you seem to be so far away,
Oh, I wish for yesterday.

Suddenly,
I’m no longer what I used to be,
I know I’ve lost a part of me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Then you
Had to go, oh I know, you couldn’t stay.
I guess,
HE called you home, but I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
We laughed at all funny things you had to say,
And now I’ll never let them fade away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Even though
Our tears flow, in our hearts, you’ll always stay.
One day
We’ll meet again, but till then, there’s yesterday.

Just today,
I called your name out, as I prayed,
Now you’re really not so far away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
