Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong. I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

*Grin*, I haven't found a person whom I could last a day without, but I do hope I could have the power to take most of the madness that the world has to give. Life just has too many of such madness to be faced each day as challenges.
Whatever it is, I am loving the songs by the Carpenters more and more as I listen to their songs. Their songs are so nice to harmonise to. Karen Carpenter can really sing and connect with her listeners.
for many years, in my teens to my late thirties, (am way past those years now. grin.)i have been singing this song also, esp. in my melancholic moments. haha, now it becomes obvious i have a rather "dark" side to my character!
ReplyDeleteanother song that has accompanied me throughout those years, goes like this..(eh..may have gotten some words wrong, must excuse me..haha, sorry also forgotten the title, thought it was "you are everything" but that brought another song to mind instead!)
t'day i saw somebody
he looks just like you
he walks like you do
i thought it was you
as he turned the corner
i called out your name
i felt so ashamed
that it wasnt you..
you are everything
everything is you
...you are everything, etc
Well...it brings back memories, and yes, i sang "i wont last a day without you" alot too!
Hi mistipurple, I'm pleased that this post brings you back memories. I hope there are some pleasant memories there were being recollected.
ReplyDeleteI like this part of the lyrics of "I won't last a day without you" as well, I suppose you could have sang it too? :
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you are near
perhaps my experience during then were more melancholic, so the "touch me and i end up singing" didnt play up so much, though i do know the song well enough!
