Carpenters – Yesterday Once More Lyrics

When I was young I’d listen to the radio
Waiting 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-wo-wo 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 breaking her heart
It can really make me cry just like before
It’s yesterday once more

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good time 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 wo-wo-wo 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 wo-wo-wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they’re startin’ to sing, so fine

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo still shines
