(They Long To Be) Close To You

The Carpenters

Why do birds suddenly appear 
Every time you are near? 
Just like me,  they long to be,
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by? 
Just like me, they long to be, 
Close to you

The carpenters - Close to you

“Merry Christmas darling We're apart that's true But I can dream and in my dreams I'm Christmas-ing with you ”

Listen

Carpenters - Superstar

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you’re not really here
It’s just the radio

Don’t you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you’d be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do

Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again

What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar 

Rainy Days And Mondays

The Carpenters

“Rainy Days And Mondays” - The Carpenters

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I’d like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around, nothing to do, but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I’ve got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don’t belong
Walking around, some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems that I always wind up-a here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it’s the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it’s all about
Hanging around, nothing to do, but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems that it’s the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it’s all about
Hanging around, nothing to do, but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Hanging around, nothing to do, but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
