Biography:
The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the duo stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles.
Karen Carpenter's calm, often somber voice was the most distinctive element of their music

[Verse]
E G#m/D#
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
C#m C#m/B
Waiting for my favorite songs
Amaj7 G#m7
When they played I'd sing along
Bdim7 F#m7 | B7/D# A/B |
It made me smile (link) (see above)
[Verse]
E G#m/D#
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
C#m C#m/B Amaj7
How I wondered where they'd gone
D#m7-5 G#7 C#m
But they're back again
C#m/B
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7 F#m7 B
All the songs I love so well
[Chorus]
A/B B E C#m E C#m
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
A/B B C#m
When they get to the part

And I'd memorize each word
