Yesterday Once More

When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
Waiting they played Id sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where theyd gone
But theyre 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
So fine

When they get to the part
Where hes breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
Its yesterday once more

Looking 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 memorized each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

The Carpenters

I remember this song and I think many people do. I remember watching the concert of the carpenters which was recorded by my dad in the video tape. Karen Carpenters singing with her brother playing the piano. It's a very simple song with simple lyrics, and yet which is so true that I think it touches many hearts.

People wish for a yesterday-once-more, and I believe those old songs that we've listened in the past, easily they would bring us back to those days, and once again, we engulf ourselves in the memories. So many songs that we've sung and so many yesterdays. Eventually, as we grow older, these songs became the marker that marks our generation.

I appreciated each and every songs which bring me back to the days.

It's yesterday once more.
