Carpenters Album

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
It's nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
To run and find the one who loves me

(*) What I feel is come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hanging around, nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

Repeat (*)

Hangin around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Saturday
Began just the same as other days
But ended up different in many ways
Love is in my world since Saturday

Morning came
But somehow it didn't seem the same
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
To the happy sounds of
Saturday, Saturday, ever loving Saturday

I whistle to bluebirds
I tried to tell them how you brought me sunshine
My head's filled with new words
That sing to the sounds of the day after Friday

Come and see
The flowers of love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of
Saturday, Saturday, ever loving Saturday

My head's full of new words
Sing to the sounds of the day after Friday
Day after Friday

Come and see
The flowers of love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of
Saturday, Saturday, ever loving Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, ever loving Saturday

Some sleepless night
If you should find yourself alone

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

To set things right
When this whole world's turned upside down

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

For love and understanding
To find a quiet place
For silent understanding
A loving touch

Come to me when things go wrong
And there's no love to light the way

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to

Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
When you need someone to turn to

I've got to find a place to hideaway
Far from the shadows of my mind
Sunlight and laughter, love ever after
For how I long to find a place to hideaway

I hear you whisper and I must obey,
Blindly I follow where you lead
Knowing tomorrow brings only sorrow
Where can I go to find a place to hideaway

Bright colored pinwheels go round in my head
I run through the mist of the wine

(*) But night and the music remind me instead
The world once was mine
I'll save my pennies for a rainy day
But where can I buy another you?
Dreams are for sleeping
Love is for weeping
Oh, how I long to find a place to hideaway

Repeat (*)

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We’ve got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go from day to day

I’ll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show.
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

Chorus:
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.

Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait
to be with you again.
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar.

Chorus x2

Druscilla Penny, what a name
Are you sure you didn't make it up yourself?
You're very pretty, yes, you are
But with all the junk you wear it's hard to tell

Man, you must work hard
To get your hair to look like that
I don't need a horoscope
To tell me where you're at

Your family's probably given up on you
Since you began to follow groups
Of long haired rock and rollers
I can hear your mother
Crying for her daughter

Druscilla Penny, what a girl
Where's the purpose to the crazy life you lead?
It doesn't matter after all
You're so sure instant love is all you need

I've seen your face at least a thousand times
You're always standing there behind
The stages at the concerts
Waiting for an offer
To be with someone after

Druscilla Penny, how's your head?
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?
It isn't easy for a girl
When she can't decide if love is wrong or right

I hope I live to see a change
Could you ever really love?
Ever really care?
Ever really get it together?
No, no

One love in my young life
Took me somewhere I had never been
And I want to live again, breathe again
In the shelter of his brightly woven love song
So long I have wanted love to be
Sitting just this near to me
Now my waiting heart is free

Few are the choices we are given
The sands of time pass quickly by

One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can't help but believe
That my whole life will be
Spent in one love

Few are the choices we are given
The sands of time pass quickly by

One dream of my young life
Now stands holding out his hand to me
Now I can't help but believe
That my whole life will be
Spent in one love

Let's take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn
Go
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
no one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me

When someone
Walks in your life you just better be sure it's right
'Cause if he's wrong there's heartaches and tears you must pay

Keep both of your
Eyes on the door never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come you run away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know
When to leave

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn
Go
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
no one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me

When someone
Walks in your life you just better be sure it's right
'Cause if he's wrong there's heartaches and tears you must pay

Keep both of your
Eyes on the door never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come you run away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know
When to leave

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn
Go
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
no one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me

When someone
Walks in your life you just better be sure it's right
'Cause if he's wrong there's heartaches and tears you must pay

Keep both of your

Here to remind you....

What do you get when you fall in love
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what is all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what is all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
Here to remind you....

What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn
Go
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
no one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me

When someone
Walks in your life you just better be sure it's right

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn
Go
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

So I keep hoping

Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Sometimes not often enough
We reflect upon the good things
And those thoughts always centre
Around those we love

And I think about those people
Who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me
So very happy

And I count the times I have forgotten
To say thank you
And just how much I love them
