Eagles - The Girl from Yesterday lyrics

It wasn't really sad the
Way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things
Walked out the door and drove away

And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried
So hard to understand
How someone who had been so close
Could be so far away

And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes
From waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window
She's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the
Things that he might say

But, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
