1.Prelude
2.Yesterday Once More
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing 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 times 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(＊)

4.I Need To Be In Love
Written：R.Carpenter／John Bettis／Albert Hammond
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
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(＊)
5.Sandy
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
Looking at you I'm almost home again.
Something in you puts me at ease.
Yes I know that you're suspicious of me, do I mean the things I
say？
You know I've been in love before, that much is true,
but though I've been in love before it wasn't with you.
(Chorus)
Oo, Sandy Could we spend the day together？
You know how rainy weather get me down when I'm alone.
You Sandy, you gotta be a friend today.
An hour with you could chase the winter away.
Being with you I'm like a child again.
Your eyes can see clearer than mine.
No one ever made me quite so aware, no one ever took the time.
The time it took surprises me, nothing's the same,
As if my life began again hearing you name.
(Repeat Chorus)
An hour with you could chase the winter away

7.For All We Know
Written：Fred Karlin／Robb Wilson／Arthur James
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
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 know you well
But only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
8.One Love
Written：Richard Carpenter／John Bettis
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
One love in my young life
took me somewhere I had never been,
And I want to live again, breath again
in the shelter of his brightly woven love song.
So long I have wanted love
to be sitting just this near to me.
Now my waiting here is free.
Few are the choices we are given,
the sand of time pass quickly by.
One dream of my young life
now stands holding out his hand to me,
Now I can't help but believe
that my whole life will be spent in one love.
9.Bless The Beasts And Children
Written：Barry Devorzon／Perry Botkin Jr.
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
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
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
The children
The children

11.All Those Years Ago
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
I'm shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog
When you were the one who had made it so clear
All those years ago
I'm talking all about how to give
They don't act with much honesty
But you point the way to the truth when you say
All you need is love
CHORUS：
Living with good and bad
I always looked up to you
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone the devil's best friend
Someone who offended all
We're living in a bad dream
They've forgotten all about mankind
And you were the one they backed up to the wall
All those years ago
You were the one who imagined it all
All those years ago
All those years ago
All those years ago
Deep in the darkest night
I send out a prayer to you
Now in the world of light
Where the spirit free of lies
And all else that we despised
They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had control of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago..
All those years ago
All those years ago...
12.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
13.We've Only Just Begun
Written：Paul Williams／Roger Nichols
Arranger：Richard Carpenter
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(＊＊)
