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-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they re starting 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 time 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 Repeat(*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It s yesterday once more Repeat(*)
