《yesterday once more》是卡伦·卡朋特的经典曲目之一。它作为最早在中国传唱的英文歌曲，深受歌迷的喜爱。这是一首追怀旧情的感伤之作。时光流逝，情感变迁，可那一首首犹如旧友的老歌，给多愁善感的卡朋特带来的是无限的温馨和慰藉。在清亮如水的旋律中，卡朋特的演唱柔柔似缎，令人心醉。而歌中流露出的哀怨和伤感，使人联想起她的英年早逝，更令人心碎。

《yesterday once more》，是一首慢速的追忆之歌，由于卡伦·卡朋特把它演绎得太甜美、大幸福，所以使得原本伤感而悠长的旋律显得是那样的光芒耀眼！即使怀旧，都充满了对生活的感恩。当儿时的美好叠回在今天的乐观之上，唤起的是我们心灵深处固有的那份热爱的本能。

当人们都在惊异于世事多变、感叹于世态炎凉的时候，那份爱犹如一束久违的阳光，永远照耀在我们别无所思的心上。

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along,
It make 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 shalala every wo'wo
still shines.

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.
(Shoobie do lang lang)
Looking bak on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that had
makes today seem rather sad,
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorise each word.
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startingTo sing
so fine
All my best memorise come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
just like before.
It's yesterday once more.
(Shoobie do lang lang)
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing
so fine
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing
so fine
