The Carpenters..

the one and...the only....!

"Let me be the one".....

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

Repeat (*)

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

Repeat (*)

Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

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

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

This Masquerade - George Benson (original)? this one performed by Karen carpenter..

Love Carpenters

Are we really happy
With this lonely game we play
Looking for the right words to say?
Searching
But not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

Ordinary Fool Lyrics

Only a fool: by carpenter

Only a fool

Like fools before me

I always think with my heart

Only a fool

That same old story

Seems I was born for the part

It's a lesson to be learned

And a page I should have turned

I shouldn't cry but I do

Like an ordinary fool

When his ordinary dreams fall through

How many times

Have I mistaken

Good looks and laughs for bad news?

And how many times

Have I mistaken

Good looks and laughs for the blues?

When a road I walked before

Ends alone at my front door

I shouldn't cry but I do

Like an ordinary fool

When his ordinary dreams fall through

When a road I walked before

Ends alone at my front door

I shouldn't cry but I do

Like an ordinary fool

When his ordinary dreams fall through

If I Had You By- Karen Carpenter

I wouldn't have the TV in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this tear drop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you

I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
(I would need no sunshine)
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

So say that you believe in second chances
(You believe in love)
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(All through the night)
If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
If I had you ( If I had you)
If I had you
(Here in my life)

If I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one

If you'll take my hand I'll show you
just how love could be so right
(Ooooooooohhhh)
If I had you (If I had you)
If I had you
(Back in my life)

If I had you again
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
(I wouldn't be the fool yeah)
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
(I'd never be a fool)
If I had you again
(If I had you, I would be true)
I'd never let this moment dissappear
(If I had you, I wouldn't be blue)

If I had you in my life.

back in 60's and 70's...🙂
