Only Yesterday Lyrics - Singles 1974-1978 - The 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 mornin' light 

Filling the world surroundin' 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 maybe 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 

And so much is left for us to see 

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 maybe even brighter than today 

Since I threw my sadness away 

Only yesterday (Only yesterday) {Only yesterday} 

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
