Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983) was the lead singer for the soft-rock duo
the Carpenters, who scored a string of Top 10 hits in the early '70s, including "(They
Long to Be) Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," "Rainy Days and
Mondays," and "Yesterday Once More." Carpenter recorded one solo album in the late
'70s, yet it was unreleased at the time. Following the recording of the record, she returned to
the Carpenters, and they had one final Top 40 hit -- "Touch Me When We're Dancing" --
in 1981 before she tragically died of heart failure, brought on by anorexia nervosa, in February of
1983. Her unreleased solo album, titled Karen Carpenter, was finally released in the fall of 1996.
My Dear Family
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
***********
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
***********
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
***********
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realize...
***********
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
***********
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
**********
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

If Heaven Had A Phone
I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.
There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.
To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,
I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they're doing fine.
Such a precious gift
