Please use "reply" as I do not frequent this newsgroup (much as I wish I had
the time! :-).

I need a title and, if possible, composer/lyricist of a song (and any other
info like what album it's on)...

Artist: The Carpenters
Time Frame: mid-70s (?)
The song *may* be titled "Sometimes"... (that's what my foggy 40-year-year old
brain remembers... it may or may not be correct.)

Lyrics: "Sometimes, not often enough, we reflect upon the good things,
and those thoughts always center around those we love.
And I think about those people, and just how much they mean to
me..."

(Sorry, I can't remember more than that.)

I believe the tune runs (or close... been a long time since I've done anything
resembling a transcription):

E C A G D G D (pitch)
Some- times not of- ten e- nough
1/4 1/2-1/4. 1/8 1/8 1/4 1/8 1/2. (rhythm 4/4)
| | | (measure)

E F E C A D B G
We re- flect u- pon the good things
1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/4 1/2-1/4.
(on 2) |

I have a friend who wants to sing this for a wedding. My sister got all The
Carpenter albums when we broke up our apartment (back in the 70s) and isn't
interested/doesn't have the time to go through and look for the album. It was
one of my favorite Carpenter songs, and it bugs the cr*p out of me that I
can't remember all of it.

Thank you for any help you can give!!

-Holly (who can't sleep because now the song keeps going through her head even
though she got only 4 hours sleep last night and has been up since 7:30am and
it's now 4:30am... sometimes my friends play cruel tricks like this on me!)

Of course, next he'll want the music for it... I could have sworn I had it,
but I can't find it in my boxes of music. :-(
