"Yesterdays" is a 1933 song about nostalgia[1] composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Otto Harbach. They wrote the song for Roberta, a musical based on the novel Gowns by Roberta by Alice Duer Miller. "Yesterdays" was overshadowed by the musical production's more popular song, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", which was a number one hit for the Paul Whiteman orchestra.[2]
