ONLY YESTERDAY
Carpenters
(Richard Carpenter/John Bettis)

After long enough of being a love
Ev'ry one must face
Their share of loneliness
In my own time
Nobody knew
The pain I was going through
And waiting 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
Filling the world, surrounding me
And when I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be alright
Baby, baby, your love's moved me
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 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
And so much is left for us to see
And when I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be alright
Baby, baby, your love's moved me
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 its tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away

Only yesterday
Only yesterday
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
