The Carpenters - Only Yesterday

I've listened many to English songs so far. I think The Carpenters' songs are more easy to sing for me. Their songs are slow enough to sing and is in my voice range. I want to sing their songs at Karaoke when I visit Japan. I might visit Japan at the end of this year. Until then, I want to search for lyrics and sing as many English songs as possible. :)


  
The Carpenters / Only Yesterday


Lyrics

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surrounding me
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me

Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Sinc I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right

Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Sinc I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday
