Montage of images along with the classic song "Yesterday Once More" from The Carpenters

R.I.P Karen Carpenter

Lyrics:

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

(*) every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Repeat (*)

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

(*) Repeat

  • When I was 7 my dad would ALWAYS play their golden cd and the bee gees album, frank sinatra, Tom jones and the list goes on and now i recently turned 14 and adore and appreciate these songs!

  • Karen C., Michael J., Whitney H., we lost them too soon, such talent but their demons defeated them and destroyed their lives.

  • KAREN VIVE !!! BRASIL.....

  • @bryonythompson

    Great point - I never thought about that.

  • @epf1961 Doesn't make sense to compare Karen Carpenter with Ella Fitzgerald - two people attempting two different things. It's like asking whether Michael Jordan or Babe Ruth was the greater athlete.

    To the extent singing is about pitch, tone, and timing, as opposed to who "did things with their voices", Karen is almost peerless.

  • Depuis toujours j'aime les Carpenters .......j'aime cette voix ....Souvenirs in my heart ....for ever !

  • Fantastic music !!!

  • searched google for shalalalala and woah oh oh like crazy

  • <3 Karen

  • Tenia una voz de terciopelo
