There was a time you and I were everything
You'll never know the days and nights
I spend imagining

Yesterday is the only place
We'll ever know oh oh

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
It wasn't just a dream
And baby in my heart you will always be

Picked up the phone
Didn't know
What I was gonna do
I heard your voice
I had no choice
I hang up on you

Yesterday is the only place
We'll ever know oh oh

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
How it used to be
But baby in my heart
You're still a part of me

There's no future living in the past
You can dream but you can never go back
Oh no you will always be there
In my little black in my little black book

There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
It wasn't just a dream
We're worlds apart
You're in my heart
And there you'll always be

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You'll always be
A part of me
You always be
In my little black book
