Carpenters, The - (I'm Caught Between) Goodbye And I Love You Lyrics






I have something to tell you
and I know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days
it might be time to leave
You're like a stranger
then you're a lover
Never the same, always hard to believe

I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowing quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Falling both ways, nowhere to land

So constantly stranded
I can't understand it
This troubled life you've handed me
Is like the devil and the deep blue sea

If we go on much longer
If my doubts grow any stronger
Then I may have to let you go
If only to survive
Give me a reason, why should I stay here
I've tried too hard just to keep love alive

    Lady diana's song for prince charles😪😪

  3. c.... p....

    The oboe sound it's so sad ...

    Diese Stimme berührt mich und macht mich ruhig und zuversichtlich

  5. F.... N....

    No doubt: this woman was born to sing. Miss her voice so much!

  6. W.... V....

    No can replace karen carpenters...famous voice worldwide..

  7. P.... S....

    Superb song by a singer with an exquisite voice.

    Excellent angelic voice by karen carpenters...still famous worldwide..

  9. K.... L....

  10. W.... S....

    I miss her already..

  11. W.... S....

    I miss her already..

  12. k.... l....

    I always sing this song in Videoke👍👌

  14. J.... G....

    Just heavens giving! What a great music and what a great voice. Karens and Richards music will always be part of my life !

  15. C.... ....

    Def one of her best vocals. I could apply that to virtually anything she touched, but the lovely melody, effortless tone & sincerity of her voice here is overwhelming.

  16. K.... P....

    Definitely from one of my favorite Carpenters albums. Top of their productivity and creative output phase.

  17. s.... w....

    Aint gonna lie, the video editing is great

  18. n.... g....

    I miss you so badly..

  19. R.... B....

    Constantly stranded without you KC.

  20. N.... Y....

    Been there..done it.

  21. D.... L....

    One and only Karen

  22. T.... R....

    She is 0.5% better than Whitney Houston!

    T.... R....

    That's all? Oh I think much more...

  23. i.... m....

    2018 anyone

    i.... m....

    @Coupydog lol 2019

  24. B.... S....

    Her voice flows over the orchestration like a butterfly in flight. Ever so gently, but knowing exactly where she's going. Nobody can interpret a piece of music the way she could, taking a mere song & caressing it into a work of art 😍😥. I also heard her heart warming, majestic vocals were recorded on 1st take 😯💕

  25. C.... ....

    Timeless xx

  26. M.... J....

    Who are the 6 death people amongst us!! Thumbs down!!

  27. v.... d....

    I wont stop loving this song❤️❤️❤️

  28. j.... c....

    Effortlessly....Karen didn't sing, she just opened her mouth and the song flowed from her precious lips. I never heard her reach for a note.

    j.... c....

    😞 so true. Never was or will be another artist like her!

  29. c.... f....

    Magnific karen carpenter

  30. j.... c....

    The Angel of music !

  31. A.... L....

    This is a most lovely song. She has such a rich voice!

  32. T.... S....

    Carpenters' album "Horizon" is so underrated, it blows my mind. It has some of their most experimental and beautiful songs on it. "Happy", "Only Yesterday" and this one are my three favorite Carpenters songs. The whine of the pedal steel during the final 20 seconds of this song brings me to tears. There's something so emotive about this song. It makes me so nostalgic and it makes me so sad yet so happy to be alive. I can't describe it.

    T.... S....

    Yes, I agree, My teenage years began in 1970, about the same time the Carpenters hit it big. Of course I never admitted it, and I even rejected them as bubblegum radio music, not my style, yet when many of their songs, not all, would come on, mostly on the old AM radio at that time, LOL, I found myself listening to her voice and being like in a trans, still rejecting them though. However, when Only Yesterday started playing on the radio I gave in and actually went to the record shop and bought it, also on 8 track for the car. Only Yesterday, what grabbed me and amazed me of that song was the full range of her voice, damn she was good. Also still to this day, at Christmas time, I still look forward to hearing Merry Christmas Darling. Oh and I still have that 8 track tape.

  33. B.... ....

    Hi OceanKingNY, where we could get the photo at 4:00 min.?  it's so wonderful and Karen is so cute and natural. Thank you !

  34. K.... ....

    She's so beautiful

  35. V.... L....

    My favourite pictures of Karen 0:20, 1:04 and 2:28.

  36. A.... K....

    Such amazing and beautiful song I ever heard

  37. K.... ....

    How can anyone give this precious song a thumbs down. I thought I had heard every Carpenters songs. I guess NOT as I am listening to this for the very first time & Love it. There will never, Ever, be another as sweet as Karen.

    K.... ....

    People of various (childish) ages who shouldn't have been clicking on this in first place. Then find it wasn't "something" of their liking & need to reflect their opinions; bam.!That's all it takes. Just disregard all of them.

    K.... ....

    No disputing this, absolutely

    K.... ....

    Let's face it: not everyone is able to appreciate what is really good...

  38. J.... L....

    Karen Carpenter una voz unica e inolvidable,

  39. m.... ....

    Karen's voice is so effortless....

    m.... ....

    It's so naturally beautiful harmonic angelic beautiful beautiful woman I cry when I hear her beautiful voice so effortlessly so natural so beautiful.

  40. D.... M....

    Bellisima la voz de Karen .. inolvidable... y la canción es preciosa..

  41. D.... S....

    Probably my favorite Carpenters album.....Karen really used that lower registry in her voice to perfection.

    D.... S....

    +David S. Like no other!

    D.... S....

    Yes, I felt the same way with the range of her voice in Only Yesterday.

    D.... S....

    was just thinking the same thing that it's probably my favourite Carpenters album..but hey it is hard to choose from such an amazing catalogue but the production level they hit in 1975 incredible..kind of the point that separates the early 70's stuff from the late.....RIP Karen.. Richard respect for the song writing

  42. N.... ....

    when karen says the word "sea".....feels so good.  another amazing performance by her.

  43. R.... B....

    what an amazing voice.....I cried when she passed and I still miss her amazing voice....RIP Karen

  44. I.... B....

    I'm caught between goodbye and I love you.
    Falling both ways, nowhere to land.

  45. Y.... v....

    No doubt the most beautiful song they ever wrote and performed.
    Sometimes it scares the .... out of me, it's soooooo real, human, honest.
    No masquerade..... pure, recognizable and again.... so honest.

  46. s.... ....

    One of my favorite songs by Karen...........so beautiful!!!!!

  47. j.... w....

    Magnificent video too !  Nice job!

    j.... w....

    +jeff werner Thank you!

  48. j.... w....

    Fantastic song !  I've always thought this particular recording brought out the best in Karen's beautiful voice.  We miss her so !

  49. r.... ....

    Such an amazing song...so not appreciated...

    r.... ....

    +randys92 why not appreciated its amazing song one side you are saying
