Lyrics
Rest your head
Upon my shoulder
Tell me what is wrong
Was it something
That was said
Or something that was done
Let those unspoken words
Reveal the truth
Don't hide what is in your heart
Be true to you
So touch me now
With what you're feeling
And let yesterday be gone
Forever be gone
Let yesterday be gone
Don't hold on to the pain
Of broken promises
Or love that never came
Let yesterday be gone
Say goodbye to the heartache
With memories that haunt your heart
And make you hate
Let yesterday be gone
Say hello to today
And you can love tomorrow
Cause yesterday is gone
Let yesterday be gone
You can love tomorrow
Just let go of yesterday
