500 Miles from Yesterday Lyrics by Jackie DeShannon

What the World Needs Now is ... Jackie DeShannon: the Definitive Collection

[Verse 1]
The moon has lost its glow
The sky is black
I'll never be free I know
When I look back
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember you have gone
And I feel the pain comin' on
And I gotta stop my heart from cryin'
Though I left the best part of me behind
[Chorus]
Now, am I 500 miles from yesterday
And you have gone away
Oh baby, you've gone away
[Verse 2]
The stars don't shine for me
The way it's been
Yours is the only face I see
I'm lost again
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember you have gone
And I feel the pain comin' on
And I gotta stop my heart from cryin'
Though I left the best part of me behind
[Chorus]
I am 500 miles from yesterday
And you have gone away
And I just can't go on without your love
[Bridge]
I've burned my bridges behind me
I'll go where yesterday won't find me
And maybe the end of my sorrow
Is only as far as tomorrow
[Chorus]
I'm 500 miles from yesterday
And baby, you've gone away
Yeah, baby, you've gone away
I am 500 miles from yesterday
And baby, you've gone away
Ah, baby, you've gone away
I am 500 miles from yesterday
And baby, you've gone away
Ah, baby, you've gone away
