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.
Yesterday Once More
The Carpenters
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
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.
