Yesterday Once More (1985 Remix)

The Carpenters
The Essential Collection (1965-1997)

When I was young I'd listen to the radioWaiting for my favorite songsWhen they played, I'd sing alongIt made me smile

Those were such happy times and not so long agoHow I wondered where they'd goneBut they're back again, just like a long lost friendAll the songs I loved so well

Every sha-la-la-laEvery woah-woah still shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing, so fine

When they get to the partWhere he's breaking her heartIt can really make me cry just like beforeIt's yesterday once more

Looking back on how it was in years gone byAnd the good times that I hadMakes today seem rather sadSo much has changed

It was songs of love that I would sing to themAnd I'd memorize each wordThose old melodies still sound so good to meAs they melt the years away

Every sha-la-la-laEvery woah-woah still shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing, so fine

All my best memoriesCome back clearly to meSome can even make me cry just like beforeIt's yesterday once more

Every sha-la-la-laEvery woah-woah still shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing, so fine

Every sha-la-la-laEvery woah-woah still shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-ling
