It wasn’t really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn’t cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yester- day

He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yester- day

She doesn’t know what’s right, she doesn’t know what’s wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn’t count the teardrops, that she’s cried while he’s a- way
Be- cause she knows deep in her heart
That he’ll be back some-day

Key up 1 tone to ———-

The light’s on in the window, she’s waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that’s never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say

But she’ll always be the girl from yester- day
Yeah she’ll always be the girl from yester day
