Yesterday Once More Songtext
von Carpenters

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 whoa-ooh-whoa
Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they′re startin′ to sing
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 them
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 whoa-ooh-whoa
Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they′re startin' to sing
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
Every sha-la-la-la
Every whoa-ooh-whoa
Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they′re startin′ to sing
So fine
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every whoa-ooh whoa
Still shines
