yesterday once more

when i was young
i'd listened 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 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 times 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

all my best memories
come back clearly to me
some can even make me cry
just like before
it's yesterday once more

superstar

long ago and oh so far away
i fell in love with you before the second show
your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
but you're not really here
it's just the radio

don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, i love you i really do

loneliness is a such a sad affair
and i can hardly wait to be with you again

what to say to make you come again
come back to me again
and play your sad guitar

we've only just begun

we've only just begun to live
white lace and promises
a kiss for luck and we're on our way
we've only begun

before the rising sun we fly
so many roads to choose
we start our walking
and learn to run
and yes! we've just begun

sharin' horizons that are new to us
watchin' the signs along the way
talkin' it over just the two of us
workin' together day to day, together

and when the evening comes we smile
so much of life ahead
we'll find a place where there's room to grow
and yes! we've just begun

sharin' horizons that are new to us
watchin' the signs along the way
talkin' it over just the two of us
workin' together day to day, together, together

and when the evening comes we smile
so much of life ahead
we'll find a place where there's room to grow
and yes! we've just begun

a song for you

i've been so many places in my life and time
i've sung a lot of songs i've made some bad rhyme
i've acted out my love in stages
with ten thousand people watching
but we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you

i know your image of me is what i hope to be
i've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
there's no one more important to me
darlin' can't you please see through me
cause we're alone now and i'm singing this song for you

you tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
you came out in front and i was hiding
but now i'm so much better and if my words don't come together
listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

i love you in a place where there's no space or time
i love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
and when my life is over remember when we were together
we were alone and i was singing this song for you

we were alone and i was singing this song for you

only yesterday

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
filing 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 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
so much is left for us to see
when i hold you
