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
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

interesting how the line "i can hardly wait to be with you again" was originally "i can hardly wait to sleep with you again", but richard carpenter changed it so as not to be risque. perhaps a little thread leftover from when the song was known as "groupie", as wilyuncfox mentioned. either way, karen had one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard. i think she could have invested just about any song with a level of depth and feeling that wouldn't have been there otherwise. she was underrated as a drummer, too.
