Yesterday- The Beatles 1965
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Yesterday, you were here. All the troubles of this war seemed so far away when I saw your face. And now that you're gone, it seems that the sadness, the truth of this war will forever be inside of me. I believe that yesterday should be forever. That seeing you after so long. I believe that yesterday, I should have saved you, but I watched you die.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
All of the sudden, I'm not half who I used to be. I'm just a shell of my former self. There's this shadow, this weight that won't leave me. Oh the joy, I hoped yesterday would never come, but yet it has and it was sudden, and I wish it hadn't.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.I don't why he had to go. Why couldn't someone else been killed. I don't care how selfish that sounds. But I deserve happiness to right? I didn't save him. I did something wrong. Now I want yesterday to come back, so I could save him.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Yesterday, I was sure that after the war, after this horrid battle, I would tell you. I had it all planned out. It was supposed to be easy. Now that you're gone. I need a place to hide. Away from the memory of you. everywhere I look something reminds me of you.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
I Want to Hold Your Hand- The Beatles 1963
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
Fred. There's something I want to tell you. I hope you'll understand why. But I -sigh- I wish I could still hold you're hand. I hope you're not wierded out by that up there.
Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
Up there in Heaven. Can you tell everyone I was your girl. So when I come they will be expecting me? And please let me run to you and hold your hand.
And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Because I long for your touch. It was comforting. It was loving. It made me happy. I can't hide the sadness and pain from everyone. I only have so long before they catch on and realize how soon until I join you.
Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
I still crave that warm feeling. Our hands together, fingers intertwined.
And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
I wish we hadn't hid it from them. I wish we had told them. Then they'd understand. That I love you. Want to be with you forever. Because when I told you I love you before we began fighting. I meant it. And nothing, not even death, will stop me from being with you. Which is why you should be expecting me up in Heaven with you very soon.
Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
