Carpenters

When I was young
Id listen to the radio
Waitin for my favorite songs When 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-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That theyre startin to sings
So fine.
When they get to the part
Where hes breakin her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
Its 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 Id 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 theyre startin to sings
So fine.
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
Its yesterday once more
