YESTERDAY ONCE MORE

The Carpenters :木匠兄妹合唱團，哥哥理查卡本特專司作詞作曲、鋼琴及和聲，妹妹凱倫卡本特負責演唱，兩人在70年代合作出許多膾炙人口的佳作。然進入80年代中期，凱倫因減肥失當，引發厭食症，受到病魔侵襲,而日漸憔悴,知道自己活不久的妹妹，就很懷念以前的日子，而發起"昨日重現(Yesterday Once More)"

Yesterday Once More

When I was young

I’d listened to the radio

Waitin’ for my favorite songs

Waiting 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-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

Repeat (*)
