Carpenters - Yesterday Once More
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.

Diringkaskan cerita, banyak memori yang boleh saya ingat balik bila dengar lagu ni. Mula dengar dan suka lagu ni sejak 11 tahun lagi dan sampailah sekarang... lagu ni masih ada aura dan “terkesan” di hati’ J.
Kalau perlu saya senaraikan lagu-lagu kegemaran, nah memang lagu ni lah yang pertama keluar. Confirm.
Dengar saja lagu ni, memang mula lah ingat scene, babak, perkara-perkara best yang pernah dialami... manis ka.... pahit ka... semuanya best,.. tidak ada yang perlu dikesali, walaupun pahit. Semuanya ada hikmah serta mangajar saya dan mungkin kamu dan kita semua, to learn make things right. Malah yang pahit itu lah yang membuatkan kita tersenyum kalau diingat balik. Yang MANIS? Huh dah memang manis.. tak payah cerita lah J
hmm biasalah tu kan? “Life”.. “duniawi semua tuh!”.. hehe.
Cuma 1 perkara lah kan,. A question actually. What if we could go back in time and go fix hmm I mean do whatever we want to..? ada yang mahu balik ke masa lalu.. dan ada juga yang tidak mahu, hmm.. simpan ja la jawapan masing-masing.
Bah ok la, enjoy the song! Bye. Thanks for reading.
