Yesterday
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
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'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
Repeat (*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

When I was young
In my early years
I'd listened to the radio
I would tune in to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Anticipating the arrival of my preferred melodies
Waiting they played I'd sing along
When they played, I would joyfully join in and sing
It made me smile
It brought a smile to my face
Those were such happy times
Those moments were filled with great happiness
And not so long ago
Relatively recent in my memory
How I wondered where they'd gone
I often pondered where those times had vanished
But they're back again
Yet, they have returned once more
Just like a long lost friend
Similar to encountering a dear friend from the past
All the songs I loved so well
All those melodies that I cherished deeply
(*) every sha-la-la-la
Each sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Continue to radiate their brilliance
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
When they commence to sing
So fine
Exquisite in quality

Upon reaching the segment
Where he's breakin' her heart
Where he causes her heartache
It can really make me cry
It has the ability to evoke tears from me
Just like before

Lookin' back on how it was
Reflecting on the way it used to be
In years gone by
In the previous years that have passed

Causes the present day to appear somewhat sorrowful
So much has changed
A significant amount has been altered
It was songs of love that
Those were love-themed melodies that
I would sing to then
I used to sing back then
And I'd memorize each word
And I would commit every word to memory
Those old melodies
Those vintage tunes
Still sound so good to me
Still sound pleasing to my ears
As they melt the years away
As they dissolve the passage of time
Repeat (*)
Repeat the aforementioned (*)
All my best memories
All my most cherished recollections
Come back clearly to me
Return vividly to my mind
Some can even make me cry
Certain ones even have the power to bring tears to my eyes
Just like before
Similar to the way it was in the past
It's yesterday once more
It feels like the past once again
