Carpenters Lyrics
"Yesterday Once More"

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 Whoa-Oh-Whoa-Oh still shines
Every Shing-A-Ling-A-Ling
That they're starting 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

(Shoo-Be-Doo-Da-Day)
(Shoo-Be-Doo-Da-Day)

Looking 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 Whoa-Oh-Whoa-Oh still shines (Only you it's got goodies)
Every Shing-A-Ling-A-Ling
That they're starting 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

(Shoo-Be-Doo-Da-Day)

Every Sha-La-La-La
Every Whoa-Oh-Whoa-Oh still shines
Every Shing-A-Ling-A-Ling
That they're starting to sing so fine

Every Sha-La-La-La
Every Whoa-Oh-Whoa-Oh still shines
Every Shing-A-Ling-A-Ling
That they're starting to sing so fine
