Only Yesterday by The Carpenters

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
And 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 it's 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

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 it's tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave
The past and all it's tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even
