This is my first entry in my blog devoted to songwriting. I am going to post covers of my favorite songs and some originals too.

Here is one of my favorite songs by The Carpenters…. I definitely can’t outsing Karen Carpenter, but I really like this song so I thought I would pay homage to it.

This was poorly and hastily recorded on garage band ….

Here are the lyrics:

Long ago and oh so far away

I fell in love with you, before the second show

Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear

But you’re not really here, It’s just the radio


Don’t you remember you told me you loved me baby

You said you’d be coming back this way again baby

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby

I love you, I really do



Loneliness is a such a sad affair

And I can hardly wait, to be with you again

What to say to make you come again

Come back to me again

And play your sad guitar
