When I was young



I'd listened to the radio



Waitin' for my favorite songs



Waiting 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 Sha-la-la-la



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
