MGIRL · Superstar

i love Karen Carpenter songs, I especially like the one"Merry Christmas Darling"
I truly don't know all the words and will probably get it wrong, but it goes like this : Merry Christmas Darling, we're apart thats true, but i can dream and in my dreams i'm Christmasing with you. Holidays are joyful, there's always something new, but everyday's a holiday when i'm near to you. Oh the lights on the tree, i wish you could see, i wish it every day, logs on the fire fill me with desire to see you and to say- that i wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year too, oh, just one wish on this Christmas eve, i wish i were with you, i wish i were with you, merry merry merry Christmas, darling

Top Of The World Lyrics (Carpenters)

Carpenters - Top Of The World Lyrics

(Richard Carpenter/John Bettis)
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing 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 comin' 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

Somethin' 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

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

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

Because it's a rainy Monday.......

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS

Talkin' to myself and feeling 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 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.

Hangin' 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

Repeat (*)

Hangin' around, nothing do to but frown;

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Karen Carpenter was always my hub's favorite female singer. She had such a PURE voice.

This Carpenters song was my favourite long before it apppeared in Ghost Rider!

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 youre not really here

Its just the radio

(*) dont you remember you told me you loved me baby

You said youd 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

This one's always been one of my favourites

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

Filling 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

Okay....here's another song topic for everyone. Tonight I was in a restaurant and just as I headed into the ladies room this song came on. It made me think of Nic and how there was a song by Karen Carpenter in Ghost Rider. So....I thought....for a song topic....we could post some of our favorite Karen Carpenter songs....

The song I heard....

For All We Know Lyrics

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 on 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
But only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
