[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It wasn t really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn t cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
[Chorus]
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
[Chorus]
And she became the girl from yesterday
[Verse 3]
She doesn t know what s right
She doesn t know what s wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn t count the teardrops
That she s cried while he s away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he ll be back someday
[Solo]
The light s on in the window; she s waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that s never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
[Outro]
/
But she ll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah she ll always be the girl from yesterday
