The Carpenters - Someday [1969]

Written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis Karen was reportedly never happy with her vocal perfomance of this poignant ballad, but a far greater problem with this track is the melodramatic orchestral arrangement, which at times threatens to swamp what is at heart a lovely composition. Karen later re-recorded a part of this song for a medley featured on the 1980 ABC-TV Special, “Music, Music, Music“, which appears on “From The Top“. LYRICS: Someday, rested from hours of sleeping We’ll stay safely behind what we’re keeping You’ll seem warmer than I had remembered you Lying so close I’ll be able to feel you breathe I could never leave One day, when I am able to love you I’ll come back from wherever I’ve been to I’ll see you looking the same as you always have Lovely, so lovely, I’ll cling to the love you give So I’ll start to live Someday is coming If I believe it Someday always brings the good
