  			(D7 G7 E7/9b A7) 
Yesterday I was 
Half the man I used to be 
Oh, maybe that's because 
You're the other helf of me 
Like the spring in bloom 
The summer of our love is soon 
Every bird will sing 
The melody of our love tune. 
 
Send down from above 
Unconditionally love 
Likened to a flower 
Stronger love grows by the hour 
Stormy weather days 
Make us go our separate ways 
Where our love was so at ease 
Now you got me down on my knees. 
 
Yesterday I was 
Brighter than the morning sun 
Now my love is lost 
And lonely days have just begun 
A solitary chair 
For a silent love affair 
A king lost his throne 
And now he sits alone.
