Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do? Old girl you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
(*) No use old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
When I was very young the world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strong with every star in the sky
Above the rings I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the silver and gold
Repeat (*)

The Carpenters furono una celebre coppia di musicisti statunitensi attiva dal 1960 al 1980, composta dai fratelli Richard e Karen Carpenter. Richard, compositore e pianista, forniva le melodie e gli arrangiamenti per le canzoni interpretate dalla sorella Karen, una cantante con un timbro vocale distintivo e potente. Il loro stile musicale si caratterizzava per la fusione di pop, soft rock e musica orchestrale, creando un sound romantico e malinconico che conquistò il pubblico mondiale. Tra i loro successi più famosi ricordiamo "Close to You", "We've Only Just Begun" e "Rainy Days and Mondays". Karen Carpenter, purtroppo, lottò contro la bulimia nervosa e morì nel 1983 all'età di soli 32 anni, segnando la fine del duo. The Carpenters lasciarono un'eredità musicale significativa, vendendo oltre 100 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e continuano ad essere amati da generazioni di fan.
