The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
The
Carpenters Songs and Lyrics: B
This
is by no means a complete Carpenter's song list, but we intend
to add more and more songs as time goes by.
Some
of these songs were not actually written by the Carpenters,
however many of them were made popular by the singing of Karen
Carpenter and the arrangements of Richard Carpenter.

Baby
It's You Lyrics
It's
not the way you smile
That touches my heart
It's not the way you kiss
That tears me apart
Many, many nights go by
I sit alone
At home I cry
Over you
What can I do
Can't help myself
'Cause baby it's you
You
should hear what they say about you
They say you've never
Never, never been true
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Doesn't matter what they say
I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do
When it's true
Don't want nobody
'Cause baby it's you
Many,
many, many nights go by
I sit alone
At home I cry
Over you
What can I do
Can't help myself
'Cause baby it's you
Notes:
"Baby It's You" was first released on the Carpenters'
"Close To You" Album in August of 1971. More information
about the "Close To You" album is available

4-5789 Lyrics
You
can have this dance with me
You can hold my hand and whisper
In my ear sweet words, that I
Love to hear
(*)
Don't be shy, just take your time
I'd like to get to know you
I'd like to make you mine
I've
been waiting, sitting here so patiently
For you to come over
And have this dance with me
(**)
And my number is Beechwood 4-5789
You can call me up and have a date
Any old time
Repeat
(*)
Beechwood
4-5789
You can call me up and have a date
Any old time

Bless
The Beast And Children Lyrics
Bless
the beasts and the children
for in this world they have no voice
they have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
for the world can never be
the world they see
Light their way
when the darkness surrounds them
give them love
let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
give them shelter from a storm
keep them safe
keep them warm
Light their way
when the darkness surrounds them
give them love
let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
give them shelter from a storm
keep them safe
keep them warm
The children
the children, the children
Notes:
The Song "Bless The Beasts and the Children" was
featured and performed by the Carpenters on a movie soundtrack
of the same name. The song was featured on the Carpenters'
"A Song For You" album. More information
about this album can be found here.
This
is a reflective and very beautiful song, in fact, like the
song "For All We Know", it was nominated for an
academy award.
