Carpenters is the 4x Platinum-selling third studio album by American music … Read Full Bio ↴Carpenters is the 4x Platinum-selling third studio album by American music duo Carpenters. Released on May 14, 1971, it was their most successful studio album, reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 12 in the UK. The album contained the hit songs "For All We Know", "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "Superstar".

It has been said that the strength of these recordings is what caused Richard Carpenter to ask his sister to front the band for their live performances instead of playing behind the drums. Amongst many fans, the album has simply been referred to as "The Tan Album", because the original LP cover, complete with overlapping flap, looked like an oversized tan envelope, and is presumably a play on The Beatles' so-called White Album.

In Cash Box's Top 100 Albums of 1971, Carpenters was listed as one of the year's ten biggest albums. This is the first album to feature the familiar Carpenters logo.

All lead vocals are by Karen, except on the tracks "Druscilla Penny", "Saturday", and the "Walk on By" segment of the Bacharach/David Medley, where Richard Carpenter sings lead vocal, with Karen in the background.

on Happy

As we eyeThe blue horizon's bendEarth and skyAppear to meet and endBut it's merely an illusionLike your heart and mineThere is no sweet conclusionI can seeNo matter how near you'll beYou'll never belong to meBut I can dreamCan't ICan't I pretendThat I'm locked in the bendOf your embraceFor dreamsAre just like wine,And I am drunkWith mine(*) I'm awareMy heart is a sad affairThere's much disillusion thereBut I can dreamCan't I(**) can't I adore youAlthough we are oceans apartI can't make you open your heartBut I can dreamCan't ICan't I pretendThat I'm locked in the bendOf your embraceFor dreamsAre just like wine,And I am drunkWith mineRepeat (*)Repeat (**)Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLCWritten by: Irving Kahal, Sammy Fain

Wrong lyrics shown. Correct ones --- Happy by Carpenters

I've played the game of love before.
Too young to know
How hard the fall could be;
I never thought I'd try again.
Somehow you brought
The gambler out in me.

You can deal me in this time around.
Even though the odds are high,
We'll play them down.
You may be a chance I need to take,
And the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake.

Happy is the way I'm feelin',
And I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
And I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love.
Fallin' in love with you.

If this is luck then let it ride.
If it's the starts,
They're surely on my side.
I've never been so safisfied
By love before;
For all the times I've tried.

These beginnings could mean more
Than the brief affair I bargained for.
Little did I know, when we began,
That my time had come to win a hand.

Happy is the way I'm feelin',
And I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
And I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love.
Fallin' in love with you.

Please forgive me if I seem
To be walking through a waking dream.
Laughter never came so easily;
There's a freedom here that's new to me.

Happy is the way I'm feelin',
And I know it comes from being with you.
All at once my life is changin',
And I know it's 'cause I'm fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love with you.
Fallin' in love.
Fallin' in love with you.
