After long enough of being aloneEveryone must face their share of loneliness In my own time, nobody knew The pain I was goin’ through And waitin’ was all my heart could doHope was all I had until you cameMaybe you can’t see how much you mean to me You were the dawn breaking the night The promise of mornin’ light Filling the world surroundin’ me When I hold youBaby, baby, feels like maybeThings will be all right Baby, baby, your love’s made me Free as a song, singin’ foreverOnly yesterday when I was sad and I was lonelyYou showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today Since I threw my sadness away Only yesterdayI have found my home here in your armsNowhere else on earth I’d really rather be Life waits for us, share it with me The best is about to be And so much is left for us to see When I hold youBaby, baby, feels like maybeThings will be all right Baby, baby, your love’s made me Free as a song, singin’ foreverOnly yesterday when I was sad and I was lonelyYou showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today Since I threw my sadness away Only yesterday (only yesterday, only yesterday)Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonelyYou showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
