The Carpenters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo, consisting of sister Karen and brother Richard Carpenter. Though often referred to by the public as "The Carpenters", the duo's official name on authorized recordings and press materials is simply Carpenters, without the definite article. During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them among the best-selling music artists of all time. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded 11 albums, five of which contained top 10 singles (Close to You, Carpenters, A Song for You, Now & Then and Horizon).
Why are so many songs about rainbows And what’s on the other side Rainbows are visions,but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we’ve told and some choose believe it I know they are wrong,wait and see Someday we will find it, the rainbow connection The lovers,the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered When wished on a morning star Somebody thought of that And someone believed it And look what it’s done so far What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see Someday we will find it, the rainbow connection The lovers,the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell We know that it's probably magic Have you been half asleep And have you heard voices I’ve heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors The voice might be one and the same I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Someday we will find it, the rainbow
