IT WASN'T REALLY SAD
THE WAY THEY
SAID GOODBYE
OR MAYBE IT JUST
HURT 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 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
AND SHE BECAME THE GIRL
FROM YESTERDAY
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
THE LIGHT'S ON IN
THE WINDOW
SHE'S WAITING BY
THE PHONE
TALKING TO A MEMORY
THAT'S NEVER
COMIN' HOME
SHE DREAMS OF HIS
RETURNING
AND THE THINGS THAT
HE MIGHT SAY
BUT SHE'LL ALWAYS BE
THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY
YES SHE'LL ALWAYS BE
THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY
