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