Carpenters Album

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 feeling 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 falling love

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
You can hear the sound of lovers in love

"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 listenin' to me
and all the mad sense 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 passed you
there's no one beyond your eyes
inside my head the wheels are turning
and sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul my inspiration
just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
and since it's all true how could anyone mean more to me than you."

Looking at you I'm almost home again
Something in you puts me at ease
Yes, I know that you're suspicious of me
Do I mean the things I say?

You know I've been in love before
That much is true
But though I've been in love before
It wasn't with you

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You got to be a friend today
An hour with you
Would chase the winter away

Being with you I'm like a child again
Your eyes can see clearer than mine
No one ever made me quite so aware
No one ever took the time

The time it took surprises me
Nothing's the same
As if my life began again
Hearing your name

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I'm alone
You, Sandy
You got to be a friend today
An hour with you
Would chase the winter away

An hour with you
Would chase the winter away

I was born on a farm out in Iowa
A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone

Can't read notes but I play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
When I'd start to play
Folks used to say
"Sounds a little goofus to me"

Corn fed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold a note and change the key
Hey, well, that's goofus

Not according to the rules
That you learn in music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They sure go for goofus

Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
The leader said that I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own

Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit
We made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me

Got together a new kind of orchestra
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit
We made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me
Goofus has been lucky for me

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't walk
I'm finding it hard even to talk

And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
That only seemed light years away

And you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Some people say the happiness way
Is something that's hard to find
Into the new leaving the old behind me

And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Into the new leaving the old behind me

And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

And you must know what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
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.

CHORUS

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 hoop, but I'm alright.

CHORUS

I'm going way down south
To Louisiana tonight
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's all right

And though I'm really far away
I'll make my getaway
And no one need really know
That I've been gone

One more time for the good times
That far outweigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we had

I'm going way down south
To Baton Rouge tonight
Well, I'll just close the door
And turn out all the lights

And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy going

One more time for the good times
That far outweigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had

One more time

You're up state, up late and city fed
I'm a California label from the top of my head
Forever, ah
See a lot of open sky when the sun goes down
There's a hot lot of loving when you come around
To free me, ah

In a boat to sail, boat to sail away, ah
All those letters mailed
From a boat to sail away, ah
We are riding in a boat to sail

Bare foot, coconut and super mild
Jamaica, take a look at your own child
Forget not
Brian Wilson songs are never left behind
Don't you worry, baby, you're a friend of mine
For so long

From a boat to sail, boat to sail away, ah
All those letters mailed
From a boat to sail away, ah
We are riding in a boat to sail

We are riding in a boat to sail

I Have You Lyrics

Artist: Carpenters

I have always been a dreamer
Followed visions of my own
I was born to belong
To the lines of a song
And make then my home

I believe in happy endings
Though I've only known a few
For as rare as they are
Like a bright falling star
I found one in you

Sometimes
All the world can seem so
Friendless
And the road ahead so
Endless
And the dream so far away
Sometimes
When I'm almost
To surrender
Then I stop
And I remember
I have you
To save my day

Often my imagination
Has me reaching out too far
When I fell you were there
With you hand in the air
You knew from the start

Sometimes
After all you've done
To save me
Thru the love you freedly
Gave me
Every step along the way
Sometimes
People ask what keeps me
Going
And in truth, it comes from
Knowing
I have you
To save my day

Sometimes
Feelng helpless
When I held you
Wishing words would come
To tell you
I have you
To save my day

Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Breaking up is hard to do

Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we been through
Breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up i wish that we were making up again

I beg of you don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on, baby, let's start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do

I beg of you don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on, baby, let's start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do
Yeah, breaking up is hard to do

Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
