Only yesterday  Carpenters
(John Bettis / Richard Carpenter)

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time
Nobody knew the pain I was going through
And waiting 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
Filling 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 singing 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 (*)

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
只有昨日  木匠兄妹合唱團


受夠了長久孤獨以後
每個人都得面對他所有的寂寞
在一個人的日子裡
沒有人明瞭我經歷過的苦楚
我的心能做的就是空等

我只能懷抱希望,直到你出現
也許你無法明白你對我有多麼重要
你是粉碎黑夜的黎明
是許諾的曙光
你填滿了我週遭的世界
當我擁抱著你時

寶貝!感覺一切事情都會好轉
寶貝!你的愛讓我自由,如一首傳唱不絕的歌

只有昨日的我才悲傷而寂寞
你教會了我如何把過往與淚水拋諸腦後
明日或許會比今天更燦爛
從我拋棄憂傷開始
只有昨日

在你的懷裡我找到了歸宿
這世上再也沒有我想去的地方
人生等待著我們,和我一起共享
最美好的還沒到
還有許多事物要我們去見證
當我擁抱著你

只有昨日的我才悲傷而寂寞
你教會了我如何把過往與淚水拋諸腦後
