A Kind Of Hush

Carpenters A Kind Of Hush Lyrics
1.There's A Kind Of Hush

Lyrics:Les Reed/Geoff Stephens
Music:Les Reed/Geoff Stephens

There's a kind of hush
all over the world tonight
All over the world
you can hear the sounds 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
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


2.You

Lyrics:Randy Edelman
Music:Randy Edelman

You are the one who makes me happy,
when ev'rything 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 list'ning 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 past you,
there's no one beyond your eyes.
Inside my head the wheels 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 are one of the few things worth remembering.
And since it's all true,
how could anyone mean more to me than you.

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.


3.Sandy

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

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.

(Chorus)
Oo, Sandy Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather get me down when I'm alone.
You Sandy, you gotta be a friend today.
An hour with you could 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 you name.

(Repeat Chorus)

An hour with you could chase the winter away


4.Goofus

Written:Wayne King/William Harold/Gus Kahn

I was born on a farm out in Ioway,
A flaming youth who was bound that he'd 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 sound that I used to hear;
When I'd start to play folks used to say,
'Sounds a little Goofus to me.'

Cornfed chords appeal to me,
I like rustic harmony,
Hold the note and chant the key,
That's called 'Goofus.'
Not according to the rules
that you learn at music schools,
But the folks just dance like fools.
They go '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 ochestree,
And we all played just the same 'Goofus' harmony,
And I must admit,
we made a hit,
'Goofus' has been lucky for me.


5.Can't Smile Without You

Written:Chris Arnold/David Martin/Geoff Morrow

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

And I feel sad when you're sad.
I feel gland when your 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 days.
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
that always 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 hard to find.
Into the new, leaving the old behind me.

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

(Instrumental Break)

Into the new, leaving the old behind me.

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


6.I Need To Be In Love

Written:R.Carpenter/John Bettis/Albert Hammond

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 a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I 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 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

repeat *
repeat +
repeat *


7.One More Time

Lyrics:Lewis Anderson
Music:Lewis Anderson

I'm goin' way down south to Louisiana tonight.
Well, I'll just close my eyes and ev'ry thing's all right.
And though I'm really far away,
I'll make my get away
And no one need really know that I've been gone.

One More Time for the good times that far outweighed the bad.

I'm goin' way down south to Baton Rouge tonight.
Well, I'll just shut the door and turn off all the lights.
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
back home where things are slow and easy goin'
(Repeat Chorus)

When love was all, when loves was all we had.
One More Time.


8.Boat To Sail

Lyrics:Jackie De Shannon
Music:Jackie De Shannon

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 supermild
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


9.I Have You

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

I have always been a dreamer,
followed vision of my own.
I was born to belong to the lines of a song
and make them 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.

Sometimes when I'm almost to surrender,
and 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 your hand in the air,
you knew from the start.

Sometimes after all you've done to save me,
through the love you freely gave me,
ev'ry step along the way.
Sometimes.

Sometimes people ask what keeps me goin',
and in truth it come from knowin'
I have you to save my day.

Sometimes feeling helpless when I held you,
wishing words would come to tell you
I have you to save my day.


10.Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Written:Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield

Don't take your love away from me.
Don't you leave my hear in misery.
If you go, then I'll be blue
'cause breakin' 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 trough,
'cause breakin' up is hard to do.

They say that breain' up is hard to do;
now I know, I know that it's true.
Don't say that this is the end.
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were makin' up again.

I beg of you don't say good-bye;
can't we give an other try?
Come on baby, let's start anew,
breakin' up is hard to do.

I beg of you don't say good-bye;
can't we give an other try?
Come on baby, let's start anew,
breakin' up is hard to do.
Yeah, breakin' up is hard to do.
