1.Yesterday Once More
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
When I was young, I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favourite songs
When 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 love so well
＊ Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
(oldies, oldies but goodies)
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're starting to sing
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry, just like before
It's yesterday once more
(shoo-be do lang dang, shoo-be do lang dang)
Looking 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 them
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
(Shoo-be do lang dang......)
2.I Need To Be In Love
Written：R.Carpenter／John Bettis／Albert Hammond
The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world
For me
The way that people come and go
Thru temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know
I used to say 'No promises,
Let's keep it simple'
But freedom only helps you say
Good-bye
It took a while for me to learn
That nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me
(＊)I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of
A quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's
What I'll find
So here I am with pockets full
Of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me
Tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m.
Without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm alright
Repeat(＊)
3.Please Mr. Postman(Please Mr.Postman)
Written：Brian Holland／Robert Bateman／Berry Gordy
( Stop )Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister Postman
( Wait )
Wait Mister Postman
(＊)Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there's a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mister Postman )
Why's it takin' such a long time
( Oh yeah )
For me to hear from that boy of mine
There must be
Some word today
From my boyfriend
So far away
Please Mister Postman
Look and see
If there's a letter
A letter for me
I've been standin' here
Waitin' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin' he's returning'
Home to me
Repeat(＊)
So many days
You passed me by
See the tears
Standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop
To make me feel better
By leavin' me
A card or a letter
Repeat(＊)
( Why don't you check it and see one more time
for me you gotta )
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
( Mister Postman )
Mister Postman look and see
( C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better )
Mister Postman
請等一下，郵差先生
請等一下，郵差先生
等一等，郵差先生
等一下，郵差先生，請查查看
袋子裡是不是有我的信？
請等一下，郵差先生
為什麼讓我等這麼久
只為了等我男友的音訊
今天應該有隻字片語
來自我那遠方的男友
等一下，郵差先生，請查查看
是不是有信件是寄給我的？
我一直站在這兒耐心的等待郵差先生
只為了一張明信片或一封信
告訴我他將回到家裡
你從我面前經過這麼多天了
看見我眼裡的淚水
卻不曾停下來安慰我
給我一封明信片或信件
為何你不再為我查看一遍？
你一定得等一下
請等一下，等一下
郵差先生，請查查看
快給我一封信，越快越好
郵差先生........
4.Bless The Beasts And Children
Written：Barry Devorzon／Perry Botkin Jr.
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
The children
The children
5.This Masquerade
Lyrics：Leon Russell
Music：Leon Russell
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
(＊)Throughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason
Why we carry on this way
And we're lost in this masquerade
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Repeat(＊)
We're lost in a masquerade
6.I Just Fall In Love Again
Written：S.Dorff／L.Herbstritt／G.Sklerov／H.Lloyd
Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
or am I really lyin' here with you？
Baby, you take me in your arms,
and though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true.
And, oh, I just fall in love again;
just one touch and then it happens every time.
And there I go, I just fall in love again,
and when I do can't help myself
I fall in love with you.
Magic, it must be magic,
the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly.
Easy for you to take me to a star.
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes. (chorus)
Can't help myself I fall in love with you.
7.I Believe You
Lyrics：Dick／Don Addrisi
Music：Dick／Don Addrisi
I believe you
When you say that you will reach into the sky
And steal a star so you can put it on my finger
I believe you
Baby, I believe you
I believe you
When you say that every time we make love
Will be the first time we've made love
And very act of love will please you
Baby, I believe you
(Bridge)
Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just asked me and I'll marry you.
'Cause you overwhelm me
I've made up my mind for a lifetime.
I believe you
When you swear your love will keep on growin' strong
And that forever isn't long enough to love me like you need to
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you.
(Repeat Bridge)
When you say you'll fill my body with your soul
And love will grow into a freckled little girl
Who looks like we do
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you.
8.Top Of The World
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
Such a feeling's coming 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 looking 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 telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing 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 be mine if you are here
Repeat(＊)twice
9.Love Is Surrender
Lyrics：Ralph Carmichael
Music：Ralph Carmichael
Talk about love
how it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
make it sound nice and sweet,
But the words have an empty ring,
and they don't really mean a thing,
Chorus：
Without Him love is not to be found;
not to be found.
For love is surrender,
Love is surrender to His will
Love is surrender to His will
Sing about love
and the strength it can give
You can sing how you're ready
to face life and live,
But you know as the days go by
that no matter how hard you try,
Chorus
Shout about love
and the wars will all end
You can shout we're all brothers
and even pretend
But you can't cover up the past
just pretending we'll never last,
Chorus
10.Maybe It's You
Lyrics：Richard Carpenter
Music：Richard Carpenter
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been the kind
who can pass a lucky penny by
Maybe it's wise, maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought the caring I forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
that you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me
Couldn't we stay or must you go
Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
that I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
that you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me
Couldn't we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
that I find whenever you're around
Only a fool.
11.Only Yesterday
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
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
12.Goodbye To Love
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So I've made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always know
I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song
And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love
