I may not have your warm and tender lips to kiss goodnight
I may not have your gentle loving arms to hold me tight
But I've got something you and time can never take away
I've got yesterday I've got yesterday to remember you by
I may not feel the softness of you lyin' here with me
I may not know your love again except in memories
As long as I can dream of you I'll get through the day
Cause I've got yesterday I've got yesterday to remember you by
I'll live yesterday forever that's what I'll have to do
Cause you took everything from me except my love for you
You left me something to live for and I'm thankful I can say
I've got yesterday I've got yesterday to remember you by
