When I was young, I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my songs to play When they played, you'd sing along It made me smile Those were such happy days 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 we 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 we get to the part Where he's breaking her heart It can really make you cry Just like before, it's yesterday once more (Yesterday once more, 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 you And you'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-wo-wo, still shines (Only oldies, but goodies) Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing's so fine All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry Just like before, it's yesterday once more (Yesterday once more) 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 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 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
