thought you was happy
don’t know how you feel today
baby, I feel blue
Oh, I wish that yesterday
Yesterday was today!
Yesterday you was here
Today you gone away
I miss you, Lulu
I miss you so bad—
There ain’t no way for me
To get you out of my head
Yesterday I was happy
I thought you was happy, too
I don’t know how you feel today—
But baby, I feel blue
Yesterday and Today as published in The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes by Langston Hughes (New York, Knopf, 1994)
