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
