Only Yesterday
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 cant 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 loves 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

My Body Keeps Changing My Mind
You, youre driving me wild
Youre making me fall in love
In love with you baby, i
Im losing control
I dont wanna let go yet
Till you want me
You, youre all that I need
Youre all that I want
And Id sure love to love you, i
I gotta go slow
Keep it under control now
Till you want me
(*) but my body keeps changing my mind
Keeps changing my heart
When were dancing
My body says love you tonight
To drive me out of my mind
When were dancing
(**) well I know it wouldnt be right
To say take me home tonight

Goodbye To Love
Ill say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just cant seem to find it
So Ive made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though its not the easy way
I guess Ive always know
Id say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And Ill find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
Ill go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all

Please Mr. Postman
( stop )
Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister postman
( wait )
Wait mister postman
(*) please mister postman look and see
( oh yeah )
If there's a letter in your bag for me
( please, please, mister postman )
Why's it takin' such a long time
( oh yeah )
For me to hear from that boy of mine
There must be
Some word today
From my boyfriend
So far away
Please mister postman
Look and see
If there's a letter
A letter for me

Thank You For The Music
(from the tonight show, 1978)
Im nothing special, in fact Im a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke youve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
Im so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
(*) so I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And Ive often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?

Makin Love In The Afternoon
Makin love in the afternoon
Makin love to another beatle tune
And I know youre feelin the same way too
All alone on a sunny day
On our own and we had to get away
And I know that I couldnt live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Baby without you, Id never make it alone
Makin love on a sunny day
Makin love in a very special way
And I hope youre feelin the way I do
When youre here, when youre next to me,
When youre near its the only place to be
Cause I know that I couldnt live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Livinwithout you, I couldnt make it alone
(*) why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you hear what I hear?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you hear what I hear?
A child, a child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,

Bwana She No Home
Dont you ever invite your boyfriend here
I like to be here alone
You just answer the door and feed the deer
And fight the telephone
Got to learn these words and I know you will
Or Ill send you right back to guayaquil
Say bwana she no home, say bwana she no home
Say bwana she no home, say bwana she no home
Got to peel your eyes for the heat my dear
You got to froth and foam
Got to send away the mad puppeteer
Who seems to think this is home
I want you to speak the english right
I want you to smile and be polite
Say bwana she no home, say bwana she no home
Say bwana she no home, say bwana she no home
I dont care if you drive my 350 honey
Dont letem steal my chrome
I dont care if you spend all my money honey
Long as you leave me alone

Yesterday Once More
When I was young
Id listened to the radio
Waitin for my favorite songs
Waiting they played Id sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where theyd gone
But theyre 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 theyre starting to sings
So fine
When they get to the part
Where hes breakin her heart
It can really make me cry

(They Long To Be) Close To You
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[break]
On the day that you were born
