music noteONLY YESTERDAYmusic note
(Karen Carpenters)

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was  going through
And waking with 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
Filling my worlds around me.
.
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like baby
Things will be alright.
Baby, baby, your arms baby
Free as a song, singing 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 maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday.
.
I found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us sharing with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to say.
.
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like baby
Things will be alright.
Baby, baby, your arms baby
Free as a song, singing 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 maybe 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 maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday.
