Yesterday once more -The carpenters



"Yesterday Once More"

When I was young       I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along    It made me smile.

Those were such happy times    And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again     Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.

Every Sha-la-la-la     Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's   So fine.

When they get to the part   Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry    Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was    In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that   I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies     Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la   Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's   So fine.

All my best memories    Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry   Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
