Only Yesterday

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


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





Repeat (*)


Repeat (**) twice
