When I was youngI'd listen to the radioWaitin' for my favorite songsWhen they played I'd sing alongIt made me smile.Those were such happy timesAnd not so long agoHow I wondered where they'd goneBut they're back againJust like a long lost friendAll the songs I loved so well.Every Sha-la-la-laCarpentersEvery Wo-o-wo-oStill shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing'sSo fine.When they get to the partWhere he's breakin' her heartIt can really make me cryJust like beforeIt's yesterday once more.Lookin' back on how it wasIn years gone byAnd the good times that I hadMakes today seem rather sadSo much has changed.I would sing to thenAnd I'd memorize each wordThose old melodiesStill sound so good to meAs they melt the years away.Every Sha-la-la-laEvery Wo-o-wo-oStill shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing'sSo fine.All my best memoriesCome back clearly to meSome can even make me cry.Just like beforeIt's yesterday once more.When I was youngI'd listen to the radioWaitin' for my favorite songsWhen they played I'd sing alongIt made me smile.Those were such happy timesAnd not so long agoHow I wondered where they'd goneBut they're back againJust like a long lost friendAll the songs I loved so well.Every Sha-la-la-laCarpentersEvery Wo-o-wo-oStill shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing'sSo fine.When they get to the partWhere he's breakin' her heartIt can really make me cryJust like beforeIt's yesterday once more.Lookin' back on how it wasIn years gone byAnd the good times that I hadMakes today seem rather sadSo much has changed.I would sing to thenAnd I'd memorize each wordThose old melodiesStill sound so good to meAs they melt the years away.Every Sha-la-la-laEvery Wo-o-wo-oStill shinesEvery shing-a-ling-a-lingThat they're startin' to sing'sSo fine.All my best memoriesCome back clearly to meSome can even make me cry.Just like beforeIt's yesterday once more.
