It Wasn't Really Sad They Way They Said Good-bye

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 So Long

And She Doesn't Count The Teardrops

That She Cried While He's Away

Because She Knows Deep In Her Heart

That He'll Be Back Someday



The Light's On The Window; She's Waiting By The Phone

Talking To A Memory That's Never Coming Home

She Dreams Of His Returning And The Things That He Might Say

But She'll Always Be The Girl From Yesterday

Yeh, She'll Always Be The Girl From Yesterday
