As most big Carpenters fans know, a number of years ago Richard wrote a beautiful instrumental piece in the memory of his beloved sister and called it "Karen's Theme." I personally think it really deserves lyrics. I myself am not a lyricist (or a poet), but I think it would be great if someone were to write words to accompany Richard's melody. Are there any people out there who would be willing to try to take on that challenge as a labor of love?

Not a bad thought, Molee, but I think leaving " Karen's Theme" lyric-less is more appropriate.
Without 'set' words implanted in one's mind, you are then free to feel fresh emotions and think new thoughts on each hearing of the piece.

I understand and respect your opinion. I really do! However, I think it would be a challenging (and fun?) exercise for some would-be lyricists and poets out there. Just imagaine that Richard Carpenter hands you his latest composition and asks you write the words. Here is your chance to be John Bettis!! To top it off, your finished product will honor one of the greatest female vocalists of our generation!

Have you given it a try, yet? If so, I would love to see your lyrics.  |

As I mentioned in my original post, I not a lyricist or poet. I 'm not particularly good with words. I consider myself a musician. Even as a musician, I do not consider myself a composer. I'm hoping someone good at words will try drafting some words.

I haven't really tried putting words to this song, but I will tell you that when I hear the first 6 notes of the main melody I always think "Karen Anne , Karen Anne".
