Moe Bandy recorded this tribute to various country music stars
of yesteryear around 1980.

TAKE ME BACK TO YESTERDAY ONCE MORE
Recorded by: Moe Bandy

Lord, I love to hear Hank Williams Sing
And there's a lot of Leftys now with differ'nt names
But it'll never be the way it was before
Take Me Back To Yesterday Once More

How I miss old Tex, those days were good
And nobody else could sing like Jim Reeves could
Red Foley's gospel songs touched my heart
Take Me Back To Yesterday Once More

When they sang:
Your Cheatin' Heart and Always Late
And there'll be Peace In The Valley, someday
High Noon, Rye Whiskey, Four Walls to hear me
Take Me Back To Yesterday Once More

Johnny Horton sang a country song so fine
And there'll never be another Patsy Cline
And how I miss Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys
Take Me Back To Yesterday Once More

When they sang:
Your Cheatin' Heart and Always Late
And there'll be Peace In The Valley, someday
North To Alaska, Play the San Antonio Rose
Take Me Back To Yesterday Once More

Similar but probably not your song:
Hank Williams "Darlin' Let's Turn Back The Years...and go back to yesterday"

Mary V - Couldn't find transcribed lyrics; but a recording of the Moe Bandy country song can be located in the dropdown list (under 'Other songs' section, therein alphabetized as "Yesterday Once More") and downloaded to play, at kuntryfeller.com

Alternatively (indeed!), the *Carpenters* song is:

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE
Words & Music by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis

When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting 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

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

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

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

Cheers. / -Pook

All I managed to find out is that it's a Moe Bandy song.

I'm looking for a pretty song called Take me back to
yesterday once more.
Does anyone know it.
Thanks from Mary
