    Dedicated to my beloved sister, best friend, confidant and champion who passed away three weeks ago and had loved this beautiful song which had always reminded me of her, and especially so now. I miss you so, Marlene. Love forever, your little brother, Jamesie 💔😢🎄🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

      Sent this to my boyfriend too this morning. Our first Christmas together, but he is back in Virginia with 2 of his adult children and only granddaughter (so far). He may or may not be here for New Year's at this point. But I miss him a lot right now. By the way, we aren't young ones either... he's 68 and I am 66. So we grew up with Carpenters music. And we originally met back in 1976, 6 years after this song came out. We were both in high school then.

    “Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen"

    I was working at a refinery in California. Afternoon shift. Came home, took a shower, and turned on the Radio. They announced Karen Carpenter had died. Silly, I didn't know her but I cried. I was 25. I couldn't believe it. I thought she was beautiful, and had the voice only GOD to grace a lady. I remember being 12 in 1970, yelling at my sister to come in to our parents house to listen to "Carpenters" on TV. They were singing "Close to You". My sister and I just looked at each other and new they were STARS! Richard and Karen...... The whole family is talented. Thank You Carpenters! My sister Joy loved you, I wouldn't admit back then..... I will now. I loved these two!!!! Just indescribable the sound of them......Above and beyond....Like Heaven where Karen is... I hope I'm lucky enough to hear her again. Richard you too... were blessed with a voice.... and writing music. Your voice can be heard, bass, @ 2:56? The world lost out BIG time......Merry Christmas CARPENTERS love you.

    Breathtakingly, awesomely beautiful - the song itself with its warmly longing lyrics and it soaring melody is one of the very best ever composed - and then when it's delivered to us by the incomparable voice of Karen Carpenter it could hardly get any better - kudos to Richard for a brilliant arrangement too...every good thing that music was meant to be.

    You can hear the little different orchestration changes between this one the original in 1970 and the one I had become more acquainted with in 79....vocals are very similiar though....both offer the same plaintive haunting emotional reward of the mounting vocal harmonies in the end....either way...One of my top 3 Xmas songs of all time...Guess I have to thank Richard C for the beautiful arrangement....and all the tears this song has offered ..Amazing how something so sad can offer so much pleasure
