Yesterday Once More

(John Bettis/Richard Carpenter)



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 started 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 (sho-be-doo wa yeah)



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 Wo-wo-wo still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started 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 (sho-be-doo wa yeah)



Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine

Every Sha-la-la-la, every Wo-wo-wo still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they started to sing so fine.
