Carpenters, The - I Believe You Lyrics






I believe you
When you say that you will reach into the sky
And steal a star so you can put it on my finger
I believe you
Baby, I believe you

I believe you
When you say that every time that we make love
Will be the first time we've made love
And every act of love will please you
Baby, I believe you

[*] Blind faith makes me follow you
I'd live in a cave if you wanted to
Just ask me and I'll marry you
You don't have to sell me
'Cause you overwhelm me
I've made up my mind for a life time
I believe you
When you swear your love will keep on growin' strong
And that forever isn't long enough to love me like you need to
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you
Honey, I love you

[Repeat *]

I believe you
When you say you'll fill my body with your soul
And love will grow into a freckled little girl
Who looks like we do
Baby, I believe you
Baby, I believe you

Carpenters, The I Believe You Comments
  1. G.... C....

    I can't believe I never heard this song until 2012 or so, I also can't believe this song wasn't a hit if theirs, what a beautiful heartfelt song from a lovely pre progressivism time, by a true lady and artist, so sad she was depressed as so many love her and the music she gave us in the 70s

  2. W.... ....

    RIP Karen, & Phil & Don Addrisi, the men who wrote this masterpiece. -----------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

    This was how she felt in her life.

    Una de las canciones más bellas interpretadas por The Carpenters, Karen tenía una voz increíble (Temuco, Chile 2019)

  7. A.... W....

    When she sings "Honey, I love you..." Not only does she make you feel like she is singing it directly to you, she also makes you believe it! What conviction and emotion from her voice.

    Perfection!

  12. D.... ....

    This sounds almost like a James Bond theme. I have pictured Roger Moore pointing a gun while half naked women fly around.

  13. W.... B....

    Great song. Karen Carpenter's voice is awesome.

  14. M.... T....

    I am still in love with Karen. My love began the first time I heard her voice in the early 70's. It has not died 45 years later.

  15. A.... O....

    Karen song nothing but love from her heart,why do those who are full of love leave too soon,& we are left on the planet earth to deal with those who are evil, & represent the hateful dark.

  17. W.... L....

    Ron Seventies Music, I regard Karen Carpenter highly. However,, Dorothy Moore's version is far more powerful and touching.

  18. M.... R....

    A fantastic love song.  Marty in Phoenix

  19. S.... G....

    Tranquil song I so remember during my teens growing up not too far from Downey, CA, their hometown. Beautiful then and still now.

  20. R.... K....

    tears, tears, tears.

  21. S.... M....

    Love over hate forever!

  22. S.... M....

    Why do the good die and the wicked live!

  23. S.... M....

    RIP Karen Carpenter ,you truly touched me and many on the planet earth with all of the love you put inside of the songs you song with all of your heart.Love rules forever,you will truly be missed!

  24. K.... K....

    I do not care that I am older now...but I do mind not being able to become a mother anymore.

  25. L.... C....

    What a wondeful song! Karen had a marvelous voice!

  26. S.... M....

    Rip beautiful love singing legend Karen carpenter,your songs really were felt and touched many hearts,you are truly one of my forever favorites.

  27. M.... G....

    Beautiful song sung by the carpenters in 1978 was not heard till 1981 on made in america heard liza minnelli slaughtering it the carpenters is the best version

  28. E.... D....

    it's going to be my theme song!

  29. M.... ....

    Great cover, well Karen makes this possible.

  30. L.... S....

    Karen Carpenters voice just makes me melt!

  31. L.... S....

    Talk about a voice as smooth as silk!

  32. L.... S....

    I am 51 years old and I will tell you, I would marry Karen Carpenter in a heartbeat! I would have helped that angel period!

    L.... S....

    She rocked!

    L.... S....

    Les Subrick u are so funny, but i would marry her !!! 😂😂😂😂

  33. s.... m....

    I Believe... Karen Carpenter
    The Best Sing Forever....

  34. L.... N....

    L.o.v.e  it!

  35. L.... N....

    Karen was just divine. Music nowadays is 99% trash.

    L.... N....

    @Lua Nova 100%.

    L.... N....

    @LUIZ MELO Rumer might be an exception.

    L.... N....

    +Lua Nova Lua you are so right!

    L.... N....

    Lua Nova that's correct

    L.... N....

    At least there is the 1% that's not trash I guess... Nevertheless, I'm so glad Carpenters is part of musical history.

  36. j.... r....

    This song also appeared on Barbara Mandrell's Moods album in 1978.

  37. E.... D....

    RIP KAREN CARPENTERS. this was my childhood song

  38. M.... D....

    This is a great song.

  39. R.... S....

    I can't think of anyone who would sing this better than Karen!

    R.... S....

    @Ron SEVENTIESMUSIC NEITHER DO I. SHE'S THE ONLY ONE.

    R.... S....

    Cleo Laine's version wasn't shabby.

    R.... S....

    Ron SEVENTIESMUSIC that‘s because there is Nobody else with this voice😂😂😂😂 so simple and so very true

  40. K.... P....

    Dorothy Moore's was a great cover.  But Karen and Richard did nail this.  It's a classic. 

    K.... P....

    I happen to like Cleo Laine's version very much. Cleo's dynamics and Dankworth's arranging are great.

    K.... P....

    I'll give it a listen...

    K.... P....

    I can't find it on You Tube :(

    K.... P....

    @KJ Patrick It's tricky to find.
    /watch?v=fUZBR6MWUok

    It starts from around the 13:13 mark

    K.... P....

    @Wayne Brasler But they did cover a lot of songs,Wayne. Tons. Richard just arranged them so well and Karen gave it her touch. For instance, I think only of them when I hear this song.

  41. W.... B....

    Regarding "Let Me Be the One," it came thisclose to becoming a single release and outside the United States it was a single in many places.  For the Carpenters, there was always an embarrassment of riches.  The unreleased material, we now know, was as great as the released material.

    W.... B....

    How right you are, Wayne. Thank goodness for the box sets.

  42. W.... B....

    Dorothy Moore did do the song first, just beautifully. I have her LP.  I was surprised when Richard and Karen covered it.  It did not first appear on "Made in America" but appeared as a single.  The single sort of got lost and I was surprised again when Richard decided to include it in "Made in America."  This is my favorite Carpenters record of all the magnificent recordings they created.

    W.... B....

    Dorothy did a very fine version, but Karen and Richard really nailed it. I have great difficulty naming a favorite Carpenters' song, but this one and "Let Me Be the One' are certainly on my list.

    W.... B....

    Linda canção, como uma voz incomparavél

  43. L.... S....

    Perfect wedding song!

    L.... S....

    Along with We've only just begun

  44. D.... G....

    It did. Sung by DOrthy Moore.

  45. D.... G....

    It did come out in 78. It was sung by Dorthy Moore.

  46. c.... w....

    its wonderful

  47. J.... D....

    was just finishing high school in those times - remember playing this song when taking long drives with my girlfriend (now my wife) to Carmel/Monterrey up on the pacific coast highway!...love to sing to to her...

  48. M.... K....

    This is an awesome song!! I wish Karen was still with us!!

  49. n.... c....

    quando ouço essa musica eu lembro daquele ano 1982 ,acordava pensando nessa musica bons momentos q não voltam mais.

  50. c.... ....

    In addition to that wonderful voice and wholesomeness, she was a very fine looking woman.

  51. B.... H....

    Stellar song by Karen. She was such a talented artist. Thanks for the post.

  52. D.... B....

    Tell me there's a man out there that wouldn't be immediately seduced by that voice. When she sings, "Honey, I love you," she's singing it to just you and no-one else.

  53. S.... ....

    If "Silk" had a sound,it would be Karen's voice......

  54. S.... W....

    My thoughts exactly.

  55. a.... ....

    With a voice like that, she could sing anything!!!

  56. T.... D....

    @ron71552 Love your comment ron!

  57. A.... J....

    Karen will always live....her heaven sent voice is timeless. All too short life, but enough to show her beautiful spirit through her many songs along with Richard...

    God Bless Karen wherever you are darling.

  58. c.... ....

    @yendor1152 It was released as a single in June 1978.

  59. A.... J....

    Who can´t fall in love with this one-of-a-kind voice.....Miss you since 02/04/83

    Hope I meet you in heaven darling

  60. j.... r....

    wow..i had forgotten this. i never much liked it decades ago but for some reason now it sounds poignant and beautiful! RIP Karen!

  61. G.... H....

    What a beautiful song by a likewise beautiful lady,sung in such a meaningful and easy way, Karen was by all accounts a nice person who just needed to be loved and cherished,wrapped in cotton wool and kept from harm. I can't listen to any of her songs without at some stage feeling a lump in my throat for the sense of loss. Karen we all miss you so badly,if only you could see we loved you exactly as you were and however much you changed , we always would. God bless you Karen x

    I love this song! Thank you sharing.

  64. F.... C....

    Not say just how this song moves me. she is beautiful and makes me travel in time. good times. Times that are gone and will stay only in my memory.

  65. A.... a....

    Uma grande dupla que deixou saudades, mas deixou musicas que ficou na lembrança.

  66. S.... ....

    Maybe you're hoping a guy will say those words to you.

  67. t.... ....

    I vividly remember this wafting out of the speakers of FM Radio back when i was a pre-teen in Puerto Rico. I consider myself blessed with having grown up with the sound of Karen's voice. Wherever you are, Goddess, you are ALIVE.

    That is so cool, Carpenter's Music was "all over the world."
