[Verse 1]Softly the morning breaks, with colors fading slowTraces of dreams and echoes, from a time I used to knowYou left your cup half full, a note upon the sillAnd silence told me stories that words could never fill[Pre-Chorus]No need for one last promiseNo need to say you’ll staySome hearts were made for leavingAnd some must let them stray[Chorus]Goodbye, yesterdayYou held me close, then slipped awayLike a song with no refrainLike a kiss lost in the rainGoodbye, yesterdayYou were warm, then turned to grayNow I breathe, though not the sameStill I whisper your sweet name[Verse 2]The breeze recalls your laughter, the sun forgets your faceThe clock keeps slowly turning, but time won’t leave a traceOf all the things we could’ve said, of all the quiet painYou took your share of summer, and left me with the rain[Bridge]I won't chase the shadowsOr beg the night to stayBut in the hush between heartbeatsI still hear you drift away[Chorus – repeat]Goodbye, yesterdayYou held me close, then slipped awayLike a song with no refrainLike a kiss lost in the rainGoodbye, yesterdayYou were warm, then turned to grayNow I breathe, though not the sameStill I whisper your sweet name[Outro]So here’s to all that could’ve beenTo love that learned to strayI’ll raise my glass in silence, and softly say—Goodbye, yesterday
Goodbye, Yesterday
Goodbye, Yesterday
