Carpenters - Only Yesterday - 1975

After long enough of bein' 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 mornin' light
Filling the world surroundin' me

And 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 may be even brighter
than today
Since 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
And so much is left for us to see

And 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 may be even brighter
than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only Yesterday
