[Intro]
Yesterdays, yesterdays
Days I knew as happy, sweet sequestered days
Olden days, golden days
Days of mad romance and love

[Verse 1]
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life, forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of yesterdays

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life, forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I’m dreaming of yesterdays
