Carpenters - Where Do I Go From Here?

Details

Description

In 1978, while working on their first Christmas album, Karen and Richard also recorded several songs for what was intended to have been a 10th-Anniversary album, including this song "Where Do I Go From Here," a song which had previously been recorded by Barry Manilow and England Dan & John Ford Coley . But personal and health issues for both Karen and Richard prevented them from finishing the album and the songs were relegated to the vaults of A&M.

In 1989, a snippet of the song was featured in The CBS Movie of the Week, "The Karen Carpenter Story," during the scene where Karen is in the hospital. Later that year, the song was finally released on the album "Lovelines."

Where Do I Go From Here?
(Words and music by Parker McGee)

Autumn days...
Lying on a bed of leaves,
watching clouds up through the trees...
You said our love was more than time

It's colder now.
The trees are bare and nights are long.
I can't get warm since you've been gone.
I can't stop singin' sad songs.

Where do I go from here?
Tell me, where do I go from here?
You said you'd take me through the years,
So where do I go from here?

Lovers' plans,
Like fallin' leaves on windy days,
Flutter past and they fly away.
I though I knew you, oh, so well -

And I need you now.
I need to feel you in the night.
I need your smile so warm and bright.
I wish my mind could let you go!

Where do I go from here?
Tell me, where do I go from here?
You said you'd take me through the years,
so where do I go from here?

Where do I go from here?
Tell me, where do I go from here?
You said you'd take me through the years,
so where do I go from here?

You said you'd take me through the years,
so where do I go from here?
