The Carpenters - Only yesterday

Written by 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
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
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

僅是昨日

單獨的日子已經過得夠久──
人人必須面對自己的孤寂，沒人知道我那段時間有多痛苦，
等待是我唯一能做的事。
有你出現之前，我只擁有希望。也許你不了解你對我有多重要，
你就像衝破黑夜的晨曦帶來了曙光。擁抱著你的我，
感覺被世界環繞著。
寶貝、寶貝，我覺得一切都將美好。寶貝、寶貝，
你的愛使我有如永恆之歌般地自由逍遙。
在我悲傷和孤寂的昨日，你教我如何拋開過去和淚水。
明日會比今日更光明，因為就在昨日，我把悲傷丟棄。
我在你的臂彎找到了避風港，這是我在世上最想待我地方。
生命等候著我們，請與我共享。美好之事即將發生，
太多太多等著我們去欣賞，當我擁抱著你。
寶貝、寶貝，我覺得一切都將美好。寶貝、寶貝，
你的愛使我有如永恆之歌般地自由逍遙。
＊在我悲傷和孤寂的昨日，你教我如何拋開過去和淚水。
明日會比今日更光明，因為就在昨日，我把悲傷丟棄。
