"The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More" 的歌詞如下：
When I was young I spent my days in carefree ways
Happiness seemed so easy to obtain
I never thought that life would offer me trials
Or tests of love would come and go
So much was said
Of passion new
Of love forever
And how could it be
Now as the days grow longer, the sun once again appears
Reminiscing the moments we thought were forever
The melodies we sang, so easily
Yesterday once more
I've never really lost
A piece of my heart
Yesterday once more
Now it's a memory, just a moment of spring
Yet still it persists in my dreams
That simple moments may once more come again
Chorus:
Yesterday once more, just you and me, then forevermore
But when you came, then our song seemed to disappear
A heart once again became one, the dreams had to die
For it seemed the end of forever.
So much was said of passion new
Of love forever, yet I'm left alone.
But as the days grow longer, the sun once again appears
And so my heart once more.
(repeat chorus)
Yesterday once more.
(repeat chorus and bridge)
But if our dreams can become reality once more.
