Old Song Lyric

Yesterday

Michelle

Killing me softly with her song

Smoke gets in your eyes

YESTERDAY
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Now I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go? I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

MICHELLE
Michelle Mabelle
These are words that go together well my Michelle.
Michelle Mabelle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien en semble tres bien en semble.
I live you, I love you, I love you that's all want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand.
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need to make you see.
What you mean to me,
Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean.
I want you, I want you, I want you, I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow,
Until I do, I'm telling you, so you'll understand.
Michelle Mabelle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien en semble tres bien en semble.
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand.
My Michelle.

KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HER SONG
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
Singing my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly with her song.
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song.
I heard She sang a good song, I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her to listen for a while,
And there she was this young girl a stranger to my eyes.
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crows.
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that she knew me, in all my dark despair,
And then she looked right though me as if I wasn't there.
And she just kept on singing, singing clear and strong.

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES
They asked me how I knew my true love was true.
I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied,
They said someday you'll find all who are blind.
When your heart's on fire.
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed to think
They could doubt my love.
Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love.
Now laughing friends deride, tears I cannot hide.
So I smile and say, "When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes,"
