[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
