(from the tonight show, 1978)
Im nothing special, in fact Im a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke youve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
Im so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
(*) so I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And Ive often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, Im a fan
Repeat (*)
Ive been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
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.
