My Song For You
"Karen's Song"
a tribute to Karen Carpenter
words & music by Kenny Peters
One of my favorite memories
comes from when I was very young
A memory of mama and me riding
through the rain in our station wagon
And suddenly there you were (on the radio)
singing 'bout Mondays and the blues
and this little boy instantly loved you
and he always wanted to tell you
Your rainy days never got me down
and the only superstar
I dreamed about was you
It's Yesterday Once More
when I close my eyes
and sing my song for you
Well as I got older
it seemed as every song you sang was for me
with the voice of the heartbeat or an angel
for all we know, close to you we long to be
And it only takes a moment
for me to make it just like Only Yesterday
and I'm right back there in my bedroom
listenin' to all your records play
Your rainy days never got me down
and the only superstar
I dreamed about was you
It's Yesterday Once More
when I close my eyes
and sing my song for you
Your rainy days never got me down
and the only superstar
I dreamed about was you
It's Yesterday Once More
when I close my eyes
and sing my song for you
