The Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love

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

Thru 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

Good-bye

It took a while for me to learn

That nothin' comes for free

The price I've 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 four a.m.

Without a friend in sight

Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

Repeat twice (*)

The Carpenters - Only Yesterday Lyrics

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

The Carpenters - The End Of The World Lyrics

Why does the sun go on shining?

Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'Cause you don't love me anymore?



Why do the birds go on singing?

Why do the stars glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when I lost your love



I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why ev'rything is the same as it was

I can't understand, no, I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does!



Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when you said goodbye



Don't they know It's the end of the world?

It ended when you said goodbye

The Carpenters: Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night Lyrics

Serenade me by the light of the moon,

Let's sing and dance as lovers do

When the morning light shines down on me

With you, my love I want to be

As the stars go sailin' by

We can count them you and I

We can make a wish when one falls from the sky

And my only wish would be

That forever I would see

You movin' thru the darkness smiling that way at me


(*) Kiss me the way you did last, night

Lay down beside me, holdin' me tight

Kiss me the way you did last night,

Tonight until the morning light

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/kiss-me-the-way-you-did-last-night-lyrics-the-carpenters.html ]



Celebrate love while the feeling is new

It's a moment that was meant for me and you

If tomorrow never comes I won't care,

I'll just love you tonight and all we share...



Repeat (*)



Tonight, tonight and every night

(Kiss me)

The way you did last night



Repeat (*)
