 Yesterday Once More  Yesterday Once More, written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, is a hit song by The Carpenters from their 1973 album Now & Then. Composed in the key of E, "Yesterday Once More" features a long middle section, consisting of eight covers of 1960s tunes incorporated into a faux oldies radio program. The work takes up the entire side B of the album.   The single version of the song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 1 on the easy listening chart, becoming their eighth number 1 on that chart in four years. It is the Carpenters biggest-selling record worldwide and their best-selling single in the UK, peaking at number 2. Richard Carpenter admitted on a Japanese documentary that it is his favorite of all the songs hes written. He has performed an instrumental version at concerts.  The Lyrics of Yesterday Once More: 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.
