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 and become his shadow
He said "let's go"

Yesterday, yes a day
Like any day
Alone again for everyday
Seemed the same 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 in the shadows
Today I know
