Horizon (A&M SP
4530) é o sexto álbum de estúdio do duo norte-americano Carpenters, lançado em
6 de junho de 1975, tendo sido visto pelos críticos como o álbum mais
sofisticado dos Carpenters até então. Neste disco foram utilizados desde
técnicas experimentais como a gravação em fitas correndo a 30 polegadas por
segundo. Cada um dos instrumentos foi gravado com seu próprio microfone, o que
proporcionou um som diferente, único. A bateria foi gravada em quatro faixas.
Na canção "Only Yesterday" um pequeno atraso na fita de gravação é
usado no saxofone, acentuando-o, destacando-o e dando-lhe uma dimensão extra.
After
long enough of being alone
Everyone
must face their share of loneliness
In
my own time nobody knew
The
pain I was goin' through
And
waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope
was all I had until you came
Maybe
you can't see how much you mean to me
You
were the dawn breaking the night
The
promise of morning light
Feeling
the world surrounding me
When
I hold you
(*)
Baby, Baby
Feels
like maybe things will be all right
Baby, Baby
Your
love's made me
Free
as a song singin' forever
(**)
Only yesterday when I was sad
And
I was lonely
You
showed me the way to leave
The
past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow
may be even brighter than today
Since
I threw my sadness away
Only
Yesterday
I
have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere
else on earth I'd really rather be
Life
waits for us
Share
it with me
The
best is about to be
So
much is left for us to see
When
I hold you
Repeat
(*)
Repeat (**) twice
