Hi Don,
With just a few slight changes made (by me) to the original lyric, 'Yesterday' takes on a whole new meaning. Not the most optimistic view, but one which (especially right after 9/11) hit the hearts of us all:
Yesterday:
Yesterday all our troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though their here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly life is not the way it used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why it had to change
I don't know who can explain
Sadly (gravely) somethings wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday life was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

Willie is truly among the great songwriting masters. I'm glad he eventually stepped into the limelight to record his many timeless classics songs, made famous first by other artists, himself. His own vocal renditions (imho) match or exceed the original hit version. I HIGHLY recommend the following Willie Nelson anthology album which was released in 2003:
