Hi Jeannie:
I'm so happy that you like carpenters as me,maybe the "Close to you"is not the masterpiece of Carpenters,but I really like it very much.Every time I listen to this wonderful song time by time,I feel peaceful,I feel karen's voice take me to the her time,and hear her feelings,her experinces,and her stories.
There are so many songs I like:Only yesterday,Yesterday once more,Top of the world,Rainy days and Mondays,Superstar...But "Close to you"is my favorite.
"Time to say goodbye"I will find it and listen.
