1.Yesterday once more

Yesterday Once More
Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'dsing 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 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

Repeat(*)

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Repeat(*)


昨日重現

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
當我年輕時 我常聽收音機
Waiting for my favorite songs
等待我最喜愛的歌曲
When they played I'd sing along
播出時就跟著哼唱
It made me smile
那使我非常快樂

Those were such happy times And not so long ago
那真是一段快樂時光 就在不久以前
How I wondered where they'd gone
我很想知道它們到哪裡去了
But they're back again
但它們回來了
Just like a long lost friend
像個失去聯絡很久的朋友
All the songs I loved so well
每首歌都是我所鍾愛的

Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o
每一句Sha-la-la-la 每一句Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
依然閃亮
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
每一句shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
它們就是這麼開始唱的
So fine
真是美極了……
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
當唱到他傷了她的心那一段
It can really make me cry
真的會讓我掉淚
Just like before
就像從前一樣
It's yesterday once more
彷彿昨日重現

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
回顧歲月的流逝
And the good times that I had
以及我曾擁有的美好時光
Makes today seem rather sad
相較之下,如今真是可悲
So much has changed
只因物事已非
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
那是我當時唱的情歌
And I'd memorize each word
我還記得每一句歌詞
Those old melodies
那些古老的旋律
Still sound so good to me
聽起來依然甜美
As they melt the years away
似乎把歲月都融化了

All my best memories
所有最美好的回憶
Come back clearly to me
都清晰的回到我面前
Some can even make me cry
有些甚至會使我哭泣
Just like before
就像從前
It's yesterday once more
彷彿昨日重現.


2.Superstar

Written:Leon Russell/Bonnie Bramlett

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

(*)Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
oh, baby, I love you I really do

Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again

What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar

Repeat(*)twice


3.Rainy Days And Mondays

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Talking 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
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
It's nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
To 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
Hanging 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

Repeaat(*)

Hanging around, nothing do to but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down


雨天和星期一

喃喃自語,覺得自己已老
有時我想放棄
做什麼事都不對勁
無所是事
整天眉頭深鎖
雨天和星期一總讓我心情低落

我得了人們所謂的'憂鬱'
沒有什麼是真的錯了
只是沒有歸屬感
四處遊盪
像某些寂寞的小丑
雨天和星期一總讓我心情低落

有趣的是,我似乎總是和你在此告別
知道有人愛著我,的確很好
好笑的是,我唯一該做的
是找出那個愛我的人

那些感覺來了又去
其實都不足為外人道
我們都明白那是怎麼回事
無所是事
整天眉頭深鎖
雨天和星期一總讓我心情低落


4.Want You Back In My Life Again

Written:Kerry Chater/Chris Christian

You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin' your love

I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love

Chorus
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me.

There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
And the price gets higher ev'ry day
And all I can say is

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love.

(repeat chorus)

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love.

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you, know that I need you
Back in my life


5.Ticket To Ride

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon

(*)I Think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away

(**)He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care

He said that living with me
Is bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free
When I was around

Repeat(**)

Don't know why he's ridin' so high
He ought to do right
He ought to do right by me
Before he gets to sayin' good-bye
He ought to do right
He ought to do right by me

Repeat(*)
Repeat(**)

Don't care
Think I'm gonna be sad...


6.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


7.Bless The Beast And Children

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

Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)


8.It's Going To Take Some Time

Lyrics:Carole King/Toni Stern
Music:Carole King/Toni Stern

It's gonna take some time this time
To get myself in shape.
I really fell out of line this time,
I really missed the gate.

The birds on the telephone like, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time,
And I'll find some harmony.

But it's going to take some time this time,
And I can't make demands.
But, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.

(*)After all the tears we've spent,
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again,
And it's going to take some time this time!

And I can't make amends.
I'll learn how to bend.

But it's going to take some time this time,
No matter what I've planned.
And, like the young trees in the winter time,
I'll learn how to bend.

Repeat(*)


9.There's A Kind Of Hush

Lyrics:Les Reed/Geoff Stephens
Music:Les Reed/Geoff Stephens

There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world
you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean

Just the two of us
and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good
Just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Get closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear I love you
For ever and ever

There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world
you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
people just like us are falling in love


10.Sweet, Sweet Smile

Lyrics:Juice Newton/Othat Young
Music:Juice Newton/Othat Young

You're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

When I wake up in the mornin'
And I see you there
I always whisper a little prayer
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

** I gotta know that you love me
And that you want me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

## And I gotta feel your arms around me
And that you need me
And that you'll always be there
I've gotta know that you care

If my times bring me down
You're the only one that I want around
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

And if I'll all strung out
You're the only one who can straighten me out
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day

Repeat **
Repeat ##
Repeat **
Repeat ##

You're always in my heart
From early in the mornin' til it's dark
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day
I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day


11.I Won't Last A Day Without You

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Day after day, I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone
I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there

(*)When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if
I need you And you'll always smile
It's all worthwhile

Repeat(*)

Touch me and I end up singing
Trouble seems to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near

If all my friends
Have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find

One look at you and
I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest
I found the best

Repeat(*)


12.For All We Know

Written:Fred Karlin/Robb Wilson/Arthur James

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say and as we go on from day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know


13.Touch Me When We're Dancing

Written:Terry Skinner/J.L.Wallace/Ken Bell

Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh baby, 'cause it feel so good
When we're close like this
Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss

(*)Come on and touch me
When we're dancing
You know you've got that loving touch
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love

Tonight's the night and it feels so right
My heart is saying it to me
You're the one I've waited for so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
Just to be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast

Repeat(*)


14.Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft

Lyrics:Klaatu
Music:Klaatu

In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we're about to sing

(*)Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft

Repeat(*)

You've been observing our earth
And we'd like to make a contact with you
We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries

We've been observing your earth
And one night we'll make a contact with you
We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft

And please come on peace, we beseech you
Only a landing will teach them
Our earth may never survive
So do come, we beg you
Please interstellar policeman
Oh, won't you give us a sign
Give us a sign that we've reached you

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together that's the way
To send the message
We declare world contact day

Repeat(*)twice

We are your friends


15.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.


16.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


17.Hurting Each Other

Lyrics:Peter Udell/Gary Geld
Music:Peter Udell/Gary Geld

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the wolrd
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

Close 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 than
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

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart


18.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

19.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(*)


20.Make Believe It's Your First Time

Written:Bob Morrison/Johnny Wilson

We've tried our hand at love before.
We've been around the game enough to know the score.
But then is then, and now is now.
And now is all that matters anyhow.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

The door is closed, it's you and me.
We'll take our time with love, the way it ought to be.
This moment's ours, tonight's the night.
And if we fall in love, that's all right.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.

So close your eyes and hold me close.
Let our hearts pretend that love is ours to share tonight, and
it might
never end.

Make believe it's your first time, leave your sadness behind.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.
Make believe it's your first time, and I'll make believe it's
mine.


21.All You Get From Love Is A Love Song

Lyrics:Steve Eaton
Music:Steve Eaton

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin tide.

Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love
song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a
love song.
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart.

Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me.


22.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


23.Because We Are In Love (The Wedding Song)

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run thru the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever come to me.

I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my hear says
I will give you.

Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As is you had awoken from a sleep
Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose you concentration
When someone drops his name
You're back in his arms as always
Your day - dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it stays the same

(Same little girl who's frightened)
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)

Because we are in love
We've reach for our tomorrow's
And know we won't be lonely
In laugher and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I
Because we are in love.


24.We've Only Just Begun

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only just begun

Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start our walking
And learn to run
And yes! We've only just begun

(*)Sharin' horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together

(**)And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! We've only just begun

Repeat(*)
Repeat(**)


25.Those Good Old Dreams

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

As a child I was known for makes-believing
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories

As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere

Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now finding answers to my prayers

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're coming true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through


26.Sing

Lyrics:Joe Raposo
Music:Joe Raposo

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

(*)Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

La la la la la
La la la la la la...

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

Repeat(*)


27.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


28.Close To You(They Long To Be)

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars
Fall down 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 and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

(**)That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Repeat(*)
Repeat(**)

Just like me
