[ti:only yesterday]
[ar:carpenter0]
[00:00.18]after long enough of being alone, 
[00:10.38]ev''ryone must face their share of loneliness.
[00:17.94]in my own time nobody knew 
[00:23.16]the pain i was goin'' thru,
[00:26.10]and watin'' was all my heart could do.
[00:32.89]hope was all i had until you came,
[00:39.23]maybe you can''t see how much you mean to me.
[00:46.37]you were the dawn breaking the night
[00:52.21]the promise of morning light.
[00:55.33]filling the world surrounding me
[01:08.05]baby, baby, 
[01:10.04]your love''s made me 
[01:11.71]free as a song, 
[01:13.10]singin'' for ever.
(chorus)
[01:15.26]only yesterday when i was sad and i was lonely,
[01:22.14]you showed me the way to leave the past 
[01:26.34]and all it''s tears behind me.
[01:29.01]tomorrow maybe even brighter than today 
[01:35.44]since i threw my sadness away.
[01:39.56]only yesterday
