The Beatles Lyrics… YESTERDAY (paraphrased)

YESTERDAY all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.

Oh, I believe in YESTERDAY.

Suddenly I’m not half the person I used to be.

There’s a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, YESTERDAY came suddenly

I DIDN’T SAY SOMETHING, now I long for YESTERDAY.

Did you YESTERDAY forget to; show GRATITUDE, show EMPATHY, PHONE SOMEONE, ACCEPT ANOTHER’S PERSPECTIVE, DID YOU FORGET SOMEONE YESTERDAY. Do not let a SHADOW HANG OVER YOU, YESTERDAY can not be brought back. Do not live with regret because of YESTERDAY. Do not let A SHADOW HANG OVER YOU.

Do not let YESTERDAY affect today in a negative way. It can never be changed. Doing what is right YESTERDAY will not only give pleasure to another, you will also experience the JOY of reaching out.

There is always something to be GRATEFUL for and there is always someone to THANK. Just that simple effort will create KINDNESS, CARING, RESPECT and AFFECTION. Do NOT BE HALF THE PERSON YOU ARE. YESTERDAY can be a difficult day to have a memory of, if you neglect your basic KINDNESS.

Do not take things for granted always be CONSCIOUS of and THANKFUL for the JOURNEY through LIFE. Expressing “THANK YOU” or giving a genuine smile is a simple way to feel good and make others feel worthy.

LET TODAY BE YOUR PERFECT YESTERDAY. BE THE ACCOMPLISHED PERSON YOU ARE MEANT TO BE.
