Yesterday
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye to the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to
CHORUS:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday
Well thirty-five soon rolled around
and everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
the good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
the best years away
Now I'm longin' for the freedom
REPEAT CHORUS
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
Now it's gone like yesterday
Remembering all those years, yesterday

Yesterday, When I Was Mad
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad
Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
I enjoyed it, though, of course, no one understood
A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue
They couldn't understand your sense of humour like i do
You're much too kind
I smiled with murder on my mind
Yesterday, when i was mad
And quite prepared to give up everything
Admitting, i don't believe
In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
Yesterday (yesterday yesterday) when i was mad

The Day I Broke The Law
Tomorrow I'll be coming home Verse 1
I hope to find you all alone
With open arms to greet me at the door.
You cried as I was led away
It seems like only yesterday
But after all these years I can't be sure
While I've been dreaming dreams of you Chorus
Not knowing what your going through
I prayed that you'd remember me
But I know life goes on you see
I broke your heart the day I broke the law
The man you know don't hurt no more Verse 2
My tears were shed behind locked door
I've told myself your gone ten thousand times.
Still when it got to much too bear
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Your kissing lips were always on my mind.
(Repeat Chorus)
So yesterday they set me free Verse 3
They gave me back my liberty
They gave me something else I can't ignore

Changes
Dont you feel a change a-coming
From another side of time
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldnt find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind.
Chorus:
And we all know its better
Yesterday has passed
Now lets all start the living
For the one thats going to last.
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see
The answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And all the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again.
Chorus
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
And it wont be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room
When we shake off the ancient
Chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb.
Chorus (repeat 3x)

This Used To Be My Playground
Chorus (first time without background vocals):
This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
(Long and movie versions only:)
(chorus)
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday [can't say goodbye]
(chorus)
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday [the dream]
Those are words I'll never say [I'll never say]
This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
(Short and movie versions only:)
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
(Movie version only:)
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me

Tomorrow Is Forever
Take my hand and run with me out of the past called yesterday
and walk with me into the future on to tomorrow
Yesterday my sweetful life rolled again back no matter what
There is nothing left but memories that bring sorrows
Yesterday is gone but tomorrow is forever
No more cryin' and memories find their way back
Tomorrow's waiting let's journey there together
Yesterday is gone but tomorrow is forever
I care no for yesterday, I love you as you are today
We must forget the passing time
My love for you is the real kind of love that won't hurt you forever
Yesterday is over. tomorrow is forever

My Depression
Yesterday I made you upset
Today I feel so ungrateful
Tomorrow I'll say I'm sorry
Yesterday I was alone
Today I analyse why
Tomorrow I'll try and forget
Yesterday I said nasty things
Today I cant remember a word
Tomorrow I'll make it up to you
Yesterday I had no energy
Today I'm told I'm lazy
Tomorrow I need to search for motivation
Yesterday I said goodbye
Today I walked out of your life
Tomorrow I'll just have happy memories

Cant Forget You
Theres a part of me thats dying every time I hear your name
Theres a part of me thats trying to bring back your love again
There are times when I just want to run, but theres no place to hide
Even though mu heart is breaking in a million bits inside
I can make believe that none of this is true
(chorus)
But I cant forget you, cant break free
I only have myself to blame, nothing feels the same without you
Cant you see, we can find tomorrow what we lost yesterday
What we lost yesterday
(verse 2)
There are nights when I lay wide awake thinking of how good it could be
Other nights I dont feel worthy of the love you gave to me
I remember not too long ago we both were here to stay
But it seems it happened overnight when I threw it all away
I can walk away anf find somebody new (repeat chorus)
Hope that I can make you love me once again but I cant forget you

All Those Things Happened Yesterday
Yesterday the sun came out
Warming the world, its people
We should be joyous for tomorrow
But all those things happened yesterday
Yesterday the shadows mixed with the wind
Giving us the beauty we deserve
We should be hopeful for tomorrow
But all those things happened yesterday
Yesterday we all came together
Giving everyone a helping hand
We should be happy for tomorrow
But all those things happened yesterday…
Yesterday our country gained so much
Providing us with a longer life to live
We should be grateful that there is a tomorrow
Girl From Yesterday
Here i am
Looking through
That same window again
Got me hurting
To see you
Attack me
Jealousy always wondering
If i'm being true
Why cant i be ready for you
Chorus
You want too much of me
Why cant i shine[why cant i shine]
How could you do me that way
The girl from yesterday
Today i'm gone away
Away, away, away
You pushed me away
Yesterday, yesterday
If somebody loved me
The way that i have loved you
I would be secure
But you have friends that think they know
How this relationship should go
Forces from the outside
Destroying us
Why cant i be a woman
Chorus
So far away the girl from yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday
How could you leave me this way
The girl from yesterday
how could you do it
You were my lover
You were my friend
And you're pushing me
Pushing me away
I love you, tust you, need you

Life
I've seen the light and I've
seen the fate
And I walked away
Still I'm ok
I remember the pain inside
from the day when my mother died
Never went away
It's still here today
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
And my baby he went to sleep
in his mother's arms we pray to keep
He shyed away
He never lived a day
Best friend call me up to say
with a gun in his hand said he's goin' crazy
Said you'll be ok
he still died the next day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
I stood in line
I've lost my pride
I've made the change
I'm a better man today
Death brings life
Still we try
To live a better way
Before your dyin day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yea yea
Yesterday is a memory
But today
it's a bitch
[fades]
Yea yea
Yesterday is a memory
tomorrow is a vision...

Yesterday-Today-And tomorrow
I remember you from yesterday
Your warm smile and baby blue eyes
I remember the touch of your hand
And how when you left me, i cried;
***********Chorus*********************
Been countin' on my sweet memories
To carry me through today
Been countin' on all my wishes
To make you come back my way...

Today the reality is so very sad
Together, you and i were everythin'
A compliment to one another, we were darlin'
A love as fresh as the Spring;
Chorus
I am left wonderin' 'bout tomorrow
Livin' in sorrowful reality this day
Wishin' and a hopin' with my all darlin'
Prayin' you'd come back my way;

Today i am feelin' your loss
We were sheer magic you and i
Can't get ya outta my head
Can't stop these tears from my eyes;
Chorus
Am left wonderin' 'bout tomorrow
Feelin' so empty and blue
Missin' you so much my darlin'
All i want tomorrow is you! ;

That Was Yesterday
Its finally over
But I cant even cry
So, dont you give me no sweet talk
You done told your last lie
I was your puppet
Just a dancin, dancin on a string
But when the sun went down last night,
Lord, it changed everything
Today I feel different
cause now I can see
That you care more bout yourself
Than mistreatin me
It took me a long time
To figure you out
But misery and pain
Aint what loves all about
(chorus)
I was your woman
But ya threw it away
I used to be your very own
Custom made, love slave, do anything for you, little fool
But that was yesterday
That was yesterday
And so it goes
Another lesson gets learned
And in the big book of experience
Another page gets turned
Now you say you need me
Well, honey, you got some nerve
I hope some sweet tomorrow
Well get what we deserve
(repeat chorus)
Im packing up and movin on
Your real good thing is good and gone

Don't Go
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame
But girl you and I we got too much too lose
By one of us saying goodbye
And I see it clearly we're both meant to be
But you got that look in your eyes
CHORUS:
Don't go, don't go
Cause you might regret everything
When you wake up on your own
Oh no, I'm not lettin' go
And I never will surrender what we got together
Layin' beside you I can't sleep at all
Wonderin' what your thinkin' inside
Will I wake up and find that
You've made up your mind to
Go it alone for awhile
And don't say it's present when it's all in the past
You gotta stop lookin' behind
And take everything as it comes for today is
The first day of the rest of your life
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't go, oh never say goodbye, Don't go
Oh no, you got that look in your eyes
I've seen it before, you're gonna walk out that door
REPEAT CHORUS 2x

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday I done things that pleased others
Today I do things that pleased myself
Tomorrow is the day I change what I have done wrong
Yesterday I hate things that hurt me
Today I shall change things under my control
Tomorrow I shall do more that I can envisioned
Yesterday I had past my youth era
Today I am wiser than yesterday
Tomorrow I will become a legend because I dare to dream big
Happy are those whom appreciated what yesterday had brought
Happy are those whom plan for things to do today
For tomorrow what might bring us is eternal happiness and peace
Yesterday Time flies so fast without realising we are already dead
Today Wasting our time is wasting our life
Tomorrow Time is valueless and priceless
Let yesterday remind me of the sweet memories of yester years
Let today be my reminder of treasuring our life
For tomorrow may bring uncertainty onto our life
So let us treasure and value our time
Time becomes priceless when we take things for granted
Time becomes meaningless when we face our final moment of our dead
Time becomes tomorrow heaven when we treasure the present moment.

Hello Tomorrow
Hello tomorrow and good-bye to yesterday
We've been waiting for this moment
And we still don't know what to say
We may never find the answers or know the reason why
Why we both decided we should say good-bye
Nothing but good things are coming my way
If you are going please let me stay
You bring me down when I'm getting high
You turn me on I amplify
1 -2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I won't bleed like this forever
I'm down to ride but my wings are severed
Blindside blitz- evacuation
I'm stuck in hell your on vacation
1-2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I'm still waiting for tomorrow
Tired of living in yesterday
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day I'd be over you
Oceans, devotions, these notions run dry
Floating away and I don't know why
Spend all my days in a bottle thinking
You're like an anchor got me sinking
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Say good-bye now and mean it forever
Got to move on and keep it together
Forget the things that you've said and you've done
That's in the past, here comes the sun
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Repeat Chorus

That Was Yesterday (extended Version)
I
thought I knew you well
But all this time
I could never tell
I
Let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day
You
Were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How
Could I watch you walk away?
I'd give anything to have you here today
But now
I stand alone with my pride
And dream
That you're still by my side
But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
It's just a slight change of plans
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone
Ooh..................
Love
My love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life
That we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair
But now
I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears
I never let myself cry
But that was yesterday
Love was took from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
It's just a little hard to understand
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone
Goodbye yesterday
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on
Ooh......

Its So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday
How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought wed get to see forever
But forevers gone away
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I dont know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where weve been
And what weve been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope its worth all the wait
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And Ill take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And Ill take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
