That Was Yesterday

"That Was Yesterday" is the second single taken from the album Agent Provocateur by the band Foreigner. This song was available in four versions, as a remixed single, an extended remix, an orchestral version, and the original mix. The song was written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones, and the B-side "Two Different Worlds" is also of note for being the first solo-written Lou Gramm song to appear on a single. The extended remix added additional lyrics to the intro, and these lyrics can also be heard in the live version from the DVD All Access Tonight - 25 - Live In Concert.

[Verse 1] I thought I knew you well But all this time I could never tell I let you get away Haunts me every night and every day You were the only one The only friend that I counted on How could I watch you walk away I'd give anything to have you here today But now I stand alone with my pride And dream that you're still by my side [Chorus] But that was yesterday I had the world in my hands But it's not the end of my world Just a slight change of plans [Bridge] That was yesterday But today life goes on No more hiding in yesterday Because yesterday's gone [Verse 2] Love, my love I gave it all Thought I saw the light When I heard you call Life that we both could share Has deserted me Left me in despair But now I stand alone with my pride Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry [Chorus] But that was yesterday Love was torn from my hands But it's not the end of my world Just a little hard to understand [Verse 3] That was yesterday But today life goes on You won't find me in yesterday's world Now yesterday's gone [Outro] Goodbye yesterday Now it's over and done Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart Yesterday will live on
