Yesterday once more

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 Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
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-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
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.

This is one of my favourite songs. I like the English evergreens especially those of the 50's and the 60's.
Nice of you to have shared with us.

True, oldies are evergreen.
Thank you, jiubo.

虽然我是生在七十年代,成长在八十年代的,但The Carpenters是我唯一喜欢听的七十年代歌曲。Yesterday once more很能引起对往事的缅怀。最近听香港歌手杜丽莎推出的英文专辑,里面有一首The Carpenters的Rainy Days and Monday,在Youtube找回这首歌原版,真的听出耳油,好棒!
