Yesterday Once More
Carpenters(카펜터스) Lyrics

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
As a young child, I used to tune into the radio to listen to music.

Waitin' for my favorite songs
I would anxiously wait for my favorite songs to play on the radio.

When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile
I would joyously sing along to the songs that played, which brought a smile to my face.

Those were such happy times and not so long ago
Those moments were some of the happiest in my life and they occurred not too long ago.

How I wondered where they'd gone
I would often wonder where those pleasant moments had disappeared to.

But they're back again just like a long lost friend
However, those moments have resurfaced and feel like a comforting old friend.

All the songs I loved so well
And with them, the songs that I had come to love dearly.

Every sha-la-la-la
Every time they sing 'sha-la-la-la'

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines
Every time they sing 'wo-o-wo-o', it is as good as ever.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's, so fine
All the familiar lyrics they begin to sing are just as magnificent as always.

When they get to the part
When they reach that specific segment of the song

Where he's breakin' her heart
Where his actions are causing her distress and heartache.

It can really make me cry, just like before
This part of the song is so powerful that it can elicit tears from me, as it has before.

It's yesterday once more
As they sing these songs of the past, it feels as though I have returned to that time, just like before.

Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by
Reflecting on how things used to be in the past.

And the good times that I had
Recalling all the cherished moments I experienced.

Makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed
It causes me to feel melancholic about the present, as so many aspects of my life have altered since then.

It was songs of love that I would sing to then
During that time period, I would sing love songs.

And I'd memorize each word
I would memorize the lyrics of each song through constant repetition.

Those old melodies still sound so good to me
Even to this day, the familiar melodies continue to sound just as wonderful as before.

As they melt the years away
These songs have the unique ability to transport me back in time and take me away from where I am currently.

All my best memories come back clearly to me
In this moment, I can clearly recall all of my happiest memories.

Some can even make me cry, just like before
Certain moments are strong enough to move me to tears, as they had in the past.

Every sha-la-la-la
Each time I hear 'sha-la-la-la.'

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines
Each time they sing 'wo-o-wo-o', it's as superb as ever.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine
All the lyrics that they start to sing are still as superb as ever.

Every sha-la-la-la
Each time they sing 'sha-la-la-la.'

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines
Each time they sing 'wo-o-wo-o', it's as good as ever.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine
Every song they begin to sing has magnificent lyrics.
