Carpenters - Yesterday Once More lyrics

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, 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
(Shoobie doo, lang, lang)
(Shoobie doo, lang, lang)

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, whoa oh" still shines
(Only oldies, but 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
(Shoobie doo, lang, lang)

Every "sha la la la"
Every "whoa, 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, whoa oh" still shines
Every "shing-a-ling-a-ling"
That they're starting to sing so fine
