Carpenters Carpenters Lyrics
1.Rainy Days And Mondays

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up 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 has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.


2.Saturday

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Saturday,
began much the same as other days,
but ended up different in may ways,
Love is my world since Saturday.

Mornin' came,
but somehow it didn't seem the same.
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
to the happy sounds of Saturday,

Saturday, ever lovin' Saturday.

I whistle to blue birds,
I try to tell them how you brought me sunshine.
My head's full of new words,
that sing to the sounds of the day after Friday.

Come and see
the flowers of love she gave to me;
the touches of laughter and harmony
to the happy sounds of Saturday,

Saturday, ever lovin' Saturday.

I whistle to blue birds,
I try to tell them how you brought me sunshine.
My head's full of new words,
that sing to the sounds of the day after Friday.
day after Friday.

Come and see
the flowers of love she gave to me;
the touches of laughter and harmony
to the happy sounds of Saturday,
Saturday, ever lovin' Saturday.


3.Let Me Be The One

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Some sleepless night,
if you should find yourself alone,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

To set things right
when this old world's turned upside down,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.

For love and understanding,
to find a quiet place;
For silent understanding,
a loving touch.
Come to me when things go wrong
and there's no love to light the way.

Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to,
Let me be the one.


4.A Place To ... Hideaway

Lyrics:Randy Sparks
Music:Randy Sparks

I've got to find a place to hideaway
far from the shadows of my mind.
Sunlight and laughter,
love everafter,
oh how I love to find
A place to hideaway.

I hear you whisper and I must obey,
blindly follow where you lead.
Knowing tomorrow
brings only sorrow,
Where can I go to find
A place to hideaway?

Bright-colored pinwheels go round in my head.
I run through the mist of the wine.
But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine.

I'll save my pennies for a rainy day.
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping;
love is for weeping
Oh how I long to find
A place to hideaway?


5.For All We Know

Written:Fred Karlin/Robb Wilson/Arthur James

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
'I knew you well'
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
'I knew you well'
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know.


6.Superstar

Written:Leon Russell/Bonnie Bramlett

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 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.


7.Druscilla Penny

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

Druscilla Penny what a name.
Are you sure you didn't make it up yourself.
You're very pretty, yes you are, but with all the junk you wear
it's hard to tell.

Man you must work hard to get your hair to look like that.
I don't need a horoscope to tell me where you're at.
Your fam'ly's prob'ly given up on you
since you began to follow groups of long - haired rock and
rollers.
I can hear your mother crying for her daughter
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

Druscilla Penny what a girl.
Where's the purpose to the crazy life you lead.
It doesn't matter after all you're so sure that instant love is
all you tell.

Instrumental

I've seen your face at least a thousand times,
you're always standing there behind the stages at the concerts.
Waiting for an offer to be with someone after.
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah

Druscilla Penny how's your head.
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night.
It isn't easy, for a girl when she can't decide if love is wrong
or right.
I hope I live to see a change.
Could you ever really love, ever really care?
Ever really get it together?
No!


8.One Love

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis

One love in my young life
took me somewhere I had never been,
And I want to live again, breath again
in the shelter of his brightly woven love song.
So long I have wanted love
to be sitting just this near to me.
Now my waiting here is free.

Few are the choices we are given,
the sand of time pass quickly by.

One dream of my young life
now stands holding out his hand to me,
Now I can't help but believe
that my whole life will be spent in one love.


9.Knowing When to Leave(Part Of Bacharachdavid Medley)

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can
learn.
Go!

I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart.
Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave will never let you reach the point of no
return.
Fly!

Foolish as it seems, I still have my dreams
So I keep hoping, day after day, as I wait for the man,
And night after night as I wish for a love that can be
Though I'm sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope,
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me.

When someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's
right.
'Cause if he's wrong there's are heartaches and tears you must
face.
Keep both of your eyes on the door and never let it get out of
sight
Just be prepared when the time comes and you went away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know when to leave.


10.Make It Easy On Yourself(Part Of Bacharachdavid Medley)

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do.
Ohhhhhh wo bo wop


11.There's Always Something There To Remind Me

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to
share
Just go back to the places where we used to go and I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you?
For there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Wo wo wo (musical interlude)
When there is always something there to remind me

(Part of Bacharach/David Medley)


12.I'll Never Fall In Love Again

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!

(Part of Bacharach/David Medley)

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you. (here to mind you) 3x
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least, until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
Oh, I'll never fall in love again


13.Walk On By(Part Of Bacharachdavid Medley)

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

When you see me walkin' down the street and
I start to cry each time we meet,
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe you don't see the tears just let me breath and cry
'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
So if I seem broken and blue,
Walk on by, Walk on by
Foolish pride that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tear and sadness that
you gave me when you said good-bye
(bye) Walk on by, (Bye)


14.Do You Know The Way To San Jose(Part Of Bacharachdavid Medley)

Lyrics:Burt Bacharach/Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach/Hal David

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose
I'm going back to find some piece of mind San Jose -a
L. A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down a by a car
In a week - or maybe two - they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years and quickly pass
And all the stars there never were a parkin' cars and pumpin'
gas
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Wo oh oh oh
Can't wait to get back to San Jose
Wo oh oh oh
Do You know the way to San Jose?


15.Sometimes

Lyrics:Felice Mancini
Music:Henry Mancini

Sometimes, not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
And those thoughts always center
Around those we love

And I think about those people
Who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me
So very happy

And I count the times I have forgotten to say
Thank you, and just how much I love them
