It was n't rea lly sad
the way they said good bye
Or may be it just hurt so bad
she could n't cry
He packed his things
walked out the door
and drove a way
And she be came
the girl from yes ter day
He took a plane a cross the sea
to some fo reign land
She stayed at home and
tried so hard to un der stand
How some one who had been
so close could be so far a way
And she be came
the girl from yes ter day
She does n't know what's right
she does n't know what's wrong
She on ly knows the pain that
comes from wait ing for so long
And she does n't
count the tear drops
that she's cried
while he's a way
Be cause she knows deep
in her heart
that he'll be back some day
The light's on in the win dow
she's wait ing by the phone
Talk ing to a me mo ry
that's ne ver com ing home
She dreams of his re turn ing
and the things that
he might say
But she'll al ways be
the girl from yes ter day
Yeah she'll al ways be
the girl from yes ter day
