YESTERDAY ONCE MORE   

Music by Richard Carpenter
Lyrics by John Bettis

The oldies were enjoying a resurgence in popularity during the early ’70s, much to Karen’s and my delight.  I thought it would be nice to write a song about this, and use the piece to bookend the oldies medley we were planning to record for the second side of our first album release for 1973, Now and Then.  The resulting “Yesterday Once More” became our eighth domestic gold single, and one of our biggest hits worldwide.
