Yesterday, Yes a Day

Serge Gainsbourg

Compositor: Serge Gainsbourg

Yesterday, yes a day like any day
Alone again for everyday
Seemed the same sad way to pass the day
The Sun went down without me
Suddenly someone else has touched my shadow
He said: Hello

Yesterday, yes a day like any day
Alone again for everyday
Seemed the same sad way, he tried to say
What did you do without me?
Why are you crying alone on your shadow?
He said: I know

Yesterday, yes a day like any day
Alone again for everyday
Seemed the same sad way to pass the day
The Sun went down without you
Folding me in his arms I'd become his shadow
He said: Let's go

Yesterday, yes a day like any day
Alone again for everyday
Seemed the sad way to pass the day
Living my life without him
Don't let him go away, he's found my shadow
Don't let him go

Yesterday, yes a day but today
No, I don't care if others say
It's the same sad way to pass the day
'Cause they all live without it
Without making love making in the shadows
Today, I know
