It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from yesterday
He a plane across the sea To some foreign She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right doesn't know what's wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting so long And she doesn't count the teardrops That she's cried while he's away Because knows deep in her heart That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the that he might say But she'll always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
