Karen Carpenter Yesterday Once More lyrics

When I was young I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting 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 starting 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 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'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

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo-wo
Still shines, every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing so fine
