Richard Carpenter wrote this with lyricist John Bettis. They were sure the song wouldn't be a hit, and lost a $1,000 bet to their recording engineer Roger Young when they were proven wrong. (thanks, Rick - Orange county, CA)
Comments:
This is by far my favorite song by Carpenters. Karen's vocal performance was outstanding. "Horizon" the album it came from is my favorite of their albums.

Huh? The verses are most definately Karen solo!

This was the only Carpenters hit song where Karen had no solo vocal parts. It is sung in three part harmony with her brother Richard. Overdubbing allowed for Karen to take two of the three parts.
