The Carpenters : SING (with Lyrics and pics of young Karen)
Sing - The Carpenters
My heart is burning, burning with passion, burning with indescribable words, beyond words can explained, as I am no good with words. I am filled with goodness, touched and surrounded by beauty, BEAUTY OF CREATION, Beauty of God’s work. Miracles and Wonder is all I see. I saw green snake, chameleon, reptile eating worm, frog, cats, birds, so many birds, so many varieties of birds and EVEN BEE!!!! BEE laid its shit on my wrist! Wonder, wonder in the air. The sky is shinning brightly. It is another brand new day. It is star, sun, moon and clouds I see, birds of paradise and many more…. My heart is filled with songs, too many songs! I just cannot wait to express all my emotions, all the excitement in my heart which is burning!
Sing - Carpenters Song Lyrics
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.
Throughout the fall of 1972 and into 1973, the Carpenters were busy meeting concert demands around the world, and Richard had not found time to get back to the solitary work of songwriting. In January, when they came to the NBC studios to tape a Robert Young Special they were asked to perform a tune from Sesame Street with Arte Johnson, Sandy Duncan, Robert Young, and a children’s group. On the set, everyone from the cameramen to the producer was swept up in the sing-along quality of Sing. After several days of rehearsal, Karen and Richard felt the song was strong enough to be released as a single. The Carpenters’ version, which Richard was arranging right at the TV studio, features The Jimmy Joyce Children’s Choir. Richard and Karen have also had fun preforming this song in concerts throughout the country with children’s choirs recruited from each city they visit. Short of that mythical talking dog, nothing was guaranteed to be more of a million-seller than Sing, which became their seventh gold single.
