01-YESTERDAY ONCE MORE – Mi M
Carpenters
When i was young
i'd listen to the radio
waiting for my favorite songs
when they played
i'd sing alone
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 whoa oh oh
still shines
every shing a ling a ling
that they'er 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 yersterday once more
Looking back on how it
was in year gone by
and the good time 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
every sha la la la
every whoa oho oh
still shines
every shing a ling aling
that they staring
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 more02-RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS – C1 Re M
Carpenters
Talkin' to myself and feeling old.
Sometimes I'd like to quit;
Nothing ever seems to fit;
Hangin' around,
nothing to do but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays
always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues:
Nothin' is really wrong;
Feelin' like I don't belong;
Walkin' around,
some kind of lonely clown;
Rainy days and Mondays
always get me down
Funny, but it seems
that I always wind up-a here with you;
Nice to know somebody loves me.
Funny, but it seems
that it's the only thing to do:
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel is come and gone before:
No need to talk it out;
We know what it's all about.
Hangin' around,
nothing to do but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays
always get me down
Funny but it seems
that it's the only thing to do,
Run and find the one
who loves me
(+1)What I feel is come and gone before:
No need to talk it out;
We know what it's all about.
Hangin' around,
nothing do to but frown;
Rainy days and Mondays
always get me down
Rainy Days And Mondays,
Rainy Days And Mondays
03-CLOSE TO YOU – Do M
Carpenters
Why do birds
suddenly appear
Everytime
you are near?
Just like me,
they long to be
Close to you...
Why do stars
fall off from the sky
Everytime
you walk by?
Just like me,
they long to be,
Close to you...
*On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create
a dream come true
*So they sprinkled moon
dust in your hair
And put a starlight in
your eyes so blue
That is why
all the girls in town
Follow you,
all around
Just like me,
they long to be
Close to you...
Just like me,
they long to be
Close to you....
Just like me,
they long to be
Close to you....
Aah...
Close to you....
04-TOP OF THE WORLD – C1 La M
Carpenters
Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in most everything i see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And i
won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything i want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing
to heaven that i’ve seen
I’m on the
top of the world lookin’
down on creation
And the only explanation i can find
Is the love that i’ve found
ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me
at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me
that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense
of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through
i hope that i will find
That tomorrow will be
just the same for you and me
All i need will
you be mine if you are here
I’m on the
top of the world lookin’
down on creation
And the only explanation i can find
Is the love that i’ve found
ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me
at the top of the world

Carpenters
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
(*) we go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing
Why
Closer than the leaves
On a weepin willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters a and b are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that
Repeat (*)
(**) cant we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each others heart
Tearing each other apart
Repeat (**)
08-THIS MASQUERADE – C1 Mi m
Carpenters
Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play
Looking for the right
Words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding anyway
We're lost
In this masquerade
*Both afraid to say
we're just too far away
From being close together
from the start
We tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
We're lost inside
this lonely game we play
