Carpenters — Yesterday Once More

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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) [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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) [Outro] 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...
