The Carpenters - Now (Karen Carpenter's)

Now,

Now when it rains, I don't feel cold.

Now that I have your hand to hold,

The winds might blow through me

but I don't care.

There's no harm in thunder if you are there.

And now,

now when we touch, my feelings fly.

Now when I'm smiling, I know why.

You light up my world like the morning sun.

You're so deep within me, we're almost one.

And now all the fears that I had start to fade.

I was always afraid love might forget me,

love might let me down.

Then look who I found.

The winds might blow through me

but I don't care.

There's no harm in thunder if you are there.

And now, now,

now when I wake, there's someone home.

I'll never face the nights alone.

You gave me the courage I need to win,

to open my heart and to let you in.

And I never really knew how, until now,

Until now.

No, I never really knew how,

until now

The Carpenters - This Masquerade

Are we really happy

With this lonely game we play

Looking for right words to say

Searching but not finding

Understanding anyway

We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just to far away

From being close together from the start

We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear

Each time i see your eyes

And no matter how hard i try

To understand the reasons

Why we carry on this way

We're lost in this masquerade

(instrumental)

We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way

We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear

Each time i see your eyes

And no matter how hard i try

To understand the reasons

Why we carry on this way

We're lost in this masquerade

The Carpenters - You

You are the one who makes me happy

When everything else turns to grey

Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings

And sends me out into the day

You are the crowd that sits quiet

Listening to me

And all the mad sense that I make

You are one of the few things worth remembering

And since it's all true

How could anyone mean more to me

Than you

Sorry if sometimes I look past you

There's no one beyond your eyes

Inside my head whells are turning

Hey, sometimes I'm not so wise

You are my heart and my soul

My inspiration

Just like the old love song goes

You're my heart and my soul

My inspiration

Just like the old song goes

The Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep beliving

There's someone in this crazy world for me

The way that people come and go through 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 goodbye

It took awhile for me to learn that nothing 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 4 am, without a friend in sight

Hanging on a hope, but I'm all right

The Carpenters - 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 can't see how much you mean to me

You were the dawn breaking the night

The promise of morning light

Filling the world surrounding me

When I hold you

(*) Baby, Baby

Feels like maybe things will be all right

Baby, Baby

Your love's 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

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

Since I threw my sadness away

Only Yesterday

I've found my home here in your arms

Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be

Life waits for us

Share it with me

The best is about to be

So much is left for us to see

When I hold you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**) twice

The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More

The Carpenters - Close to You

Why do birds suddenly appear

Everytime you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Everytime 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 moondust in your hair

And golden 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

On the day that you were born

The angels got together

They decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moondust 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

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Woo... close to you...

The Carpenters - There's a kind of hush

(*) There's a kind of hush

All over the world tonight

All over the world

You can hear the sound of lovers in love

You know what I mean

Just the two of us

And nobody else in sight

There's nobody else and I'm feelin good

Just holding you tight

(**) So listen very carefully

Get closer now and you will see what I mean

It isn't a dream

The only sound that you will hear

Is when I whisper in your ear I love you

For ever and ever

There's a kind of hush

All over the world tonight

All over the world

People just like us are fallin' love

Repeat (**)

Repeat (*)
