I just can't believe you're gone,
still waiting for morning to come,
wanna see if the sun will rise,
even without you by my side.

When we had so much in store,
tell me what is it i'm reaching for.
When we're through building memories,
i'll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart.

Chorus.
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
they can take the music that we'll never play.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
they can take the places that we said we would go.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

You always used to stay,
i should be thankful for everyday.
Heaven knows what the future holds,
or at least how the story goes. (but i never believed them 'til now.)

I know i'll see you again i'm sure.
No it's not selfish to ask for more.
One more night, one more day,
one more smile on you face,
but they can't take yesterday.

Chorus.
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
they can take the music that we'll never play.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
they can take the places that we said we would go.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

I thought our days would last forever. (but it wasn't our destiny)
'Cause in my mind, we had so much time.
But i was so wrong.
Now i can, believe that,
i can still find the strength in the moments we made.
I'm looking back on yesterday.

Chorus.
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made,
they can take the music that we'll never play.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.
They can take the future that we'll never know,
they can take the places that we said we would go.
All the broken dreams,
take everything,
just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

Ooooh...
(All the broken dreams take everything)
But they can never have yesterday.
