The Carpenters - Top Of The World (Live at the White House)

Such a feelin's comin' 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 lookin' 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 tellin' me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze

There's a pleasin' 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

I'm on the top of the world lookin' 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

The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More (INCLUDES LYRICS)

When I was young
 I'd listen 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-o-wo-o
 Still shines
 Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
 That they're startin' 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.
 
Every sha-la-la-la
 Every wo-o-wo-o
 Still shines
 Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
 That they're startin' to sing's
 So fine.
 
All my best memories
 Come back clearly to me
 Some can even make me cry.
 
Just like before
 It's yesterday once more.
