Carpenters - Yesterday Once More (Lyrics)

[Bazza]

I heard this when I was a very young boy and didn't know what it meant. I just thought it sounded so beautiful, like a mother singing a lullaby or some kind of magical song. It was like an adult's song, a child's song at the same time. And now that I understand the words, it's even more beautiful to me. Thank you, Karen.

[emmanuelkuzniak]

I am an adult man and I just ran into that song and it overwhelmed me with emotions, like how my life was so sad and yet so beautiful at the same time. Her voice and her words unlocked something inside me. It made me cry like a baby. It was so long time ago I hadn't cried like that... May God bless you Karen Carpenter 🙏

[takemyyubi]

Thank u, P'ling, for bringing our attention to this beautiful song 🥹

"those old melodies still sound so good to me as they melt the years away." 🥺✨

[mariorda]

2022 is coming and still listening to the piece of carpenters. Legendary indeed.

"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." Those lyrics are unbelievable relatable and real. I feel loss for my past. I grieve it. It was so much better, brighter, and more fun then the life I live currently. The world is sad and dark and probably past healing. So much has truly changed.

Came across this song today. I am 59, it really made me cry like child again!

[JihanKamila-soyn]

Denger melodinya aja nangis. Ini adalah lagu favorite ibuku. Saat ini kami anaknya semua sudah dewasa memilikinkeluarga baru. Dan baru menyadari bahwa waktu bersama ibu itu sgt singkat

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

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-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' 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

Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's So fine

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

Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's So fine

May 19 2024 And I just turned 64 years old and I truly will listen to the carpenters until I die . I’m a man’s man, not embarrassed by listening to the carpenters and proud of it. ❤❤❤

I was in a chemistry class and my teacher played this song for us in a break time. Bring back all my childhood memories and this song still the best! Happy 2022!!

[arjayquidlat]

Carpenters is one of my mother's favorite band. I really miss her singing their songs. I always pray that I could go back in time though it's not possible. 💔😢 Imissyou ma. She left us last May 5, this year. 💔

When I was young

It made me smile.

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-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' 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.

So fine.

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

Song reminds me of my childhood...
Really miss those time...

[yvonney.]

2021 and still listening to this song then you're a legend

[blaze-robello]

I remember this beautiful song from 1973. If you have a song that is so loved and has touched you in such a way 50 years later, you've done something special. It makes my heart ache knowing that Karen isn't here to feel all the love people have for her. A special talent gone way to soon, a special lady that is sorely missed for the last forty years.

[joanna]

I’ll always miss and love you grandma. Thank you for everything. And sorry

[kamarth]

Pure talent expression here with a soulful Voice.
Thank you for your existence Karen, you're remembered trough your voice.
Bringing me back childhood faded memories.

[rafaniasanol]

this song reminds me of my mom who passed away 2019. She would always sing this song when I was a kid. reminiscing my childhood with my mom by listening this song. Never gets old love the songs of Carpenters.
