Playlist The Carpenters

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
Feeling 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 have 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 - make believe it s your first time

We've tried our hand

At love before

We've been around the game enough

To know the score'

But then is then

And now is now

All now is all that matters anyhow

(*) Make believe it's your first time

Leave your sadness behind

Make believe it's your first time

And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed

It's you and me

We'll take our time with love

The way it oughta be

This moment's ours

Tonigh's the night

And if we fall in love

Well, that's alright

Repeat (*)

So close your eyes

And hold me close

And let our hearts pretend

That love is ours to share tonight

And it might never end

Repeat (*)

the carpenters - top of the world

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

the carpenters - all you get from love is a love song

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

(*) Oh, it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you get to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart

And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me

Repeat (*) three times

the carpenters - goodbye and i love you

the carpenters - christmas waltz

Frosted window panes

Candles gleaming inside

Painted candy canes on the tree

Santa's on his way

He's filled his sleigh with things

Things for you and for me

It's that time of year

When the world fall in love

Ev'ry song you hear seems to say

"Merry Christmas, May Your New Year

Dreams Come True"

And this song of mine

In three-quarter time

Wishes you and yours

The same thing too

the carpenters - all of my life

All of my life I have been waiting
For just one boy
And all of my life I have been waiting
For all the joy of having

Someone that I can call my own
Who'll come to my side when I am all alone
And now you are here and I've found a whole new world
Has opened for me
A world filled with joy
A world filled with all your love
Eternally

All of my life I have been waiting
For just one boy
And all of my life I have been waiting
For all the joy of having

For you say you're mine
You'll love me all the time
Night and day
Come what may, and all of my life
You'll be my own
I just want

Someone that I can call my own
Who'll come to my side when I am all alone
And now you are here and I've found a whole new world
Has opened for me
A world filled with joy
A world filled with all your love
Eternally

All of my life I have been waiting
For just one boy
And all of my life I have been waiting
For all the joy of having

the carpenters - the night has a thousand eyes

They say that you're a run around lover

Tho' you say it isn't so

But if you put me down for another

I'll know, believe me

I'll know

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes

And a thousand eyes can't help but see

If you aren't true to me

So remember when you tell those

Little white lies that the night

Has a thousand eyes

One of these days you're gonna be sorry

'Cause your game I'm gonna play

And you'll find out without really trying

Each time that my kisses stray

That the night has a thousand eyes

And a thousand eyes will see me through

And no matter what I do

I could never disguise

All those little white lies

'Cause the night has a thousand eyes

So remember when you tell those

Little white lies that the night

Has a thousand eyes

the carpenters - fun fun fun

Well, she got her daddy's car

And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,

Seems she forgot all about the library

Like she told her ol' man-now,

And with the radio blastin' goes cruisin'

Just as fast as she can-now

And she'll have fun, fun, fun,

Till her daddy takes the T-bird away

Well you knew all along that your dad

Was gettin' wise to you-now

(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)

And since he took your set of keys you've been

Thinkin' that your fun is all through-now

(Should'na lied now, should'na lied)

But you can come along with me 'cause we

Gotta lotta things to do-now

And we'll have fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away

Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away

Fun, fun, fun

Now that daddy took the T-bird away

the carpenters - if i had you

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom

I wouldn't have this teardrop in my eye

I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby

If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning

If I could have your love to light my night

I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright

If I had you in my life

(*) If I had you again

I wouldn't be the fool I've been

If I had you again

I'd never let the lovin' end

If I had you again

I'd show you baby you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances

And say you'll let me be with you tonight

(*) If you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love

Ccould be so right

If I had you, if I had you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

Repeat (*)

the carpenters - help

When I was younger, so much

Younger than today

I never needed anybody's help

In any way

But now these days are gone

I'm not so self assure

Now I find I've changed my mind

I've opened up the door

(*) Help me if you can I'm feeling down

And if you do appreciate you being round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

Please help me

And now my life has changed in

Oh! so many ways

My independence seems to vanish

In the haze

And every now and then

I feel so insecure

I know that I need you like

I've never done before

Repeat (*)

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Repeat (*)

the carpenters - a song for you

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme

I've acted out my love in stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be

I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see

There's no one more important to me

Darlin' can't you please see through me

Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

(*) You tought me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing

You came out in front and I was hiding

But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

(**) I love you in a place where there's no space or time

I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine

And when my life is over remember when we were together

We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

We were alone and I was singing this song for you

the carpenters - hurting each other

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

(*) We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow baby we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters 'A' and 'B' are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

Repeat (*)

(**) Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

Repeat (**)

the carpenters - kiss me the way you did last night

Serenade me by the light of the moon,

Let's sing and dance as lovers do

When the morning light shines down on me

With you, my love I want to be

As the stars go sailin' by

We can count them you and I

We can make a wish when one falls from the sky

And my only wish would be

That forever I would see

You movin' thru the darkness smiling that way at me

(*) Kiss me the way you did last, night

Lay down beside me, holdin' me tight

Kiss me the way you did last night,

Tonight until the morning light

Celebrate love while the feeling is new

It's a moment that was meant for me and you

If tomorrow never comes I won't care,

I'll just love you tonight and all we share...

Repeat (*)

Tonight, tonight and every night

(Kiss me)

The way you did last night

Repeat (*)

the carpenters - reason to believe

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

(Chorus)
And still I look
To find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else
Someone like you make it easy to give
Never thinking of myself

If you took the time to change my mind
I could find a way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

Chorus

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight face
While I cried

Chorus
