Carole King: Frases em inglês

“I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed.
I'm only halfway to paradise,
So near, yet so far away.”

Halfway to Paradise (1961), co-written with Gerry Goffin, first recorded by Tony Orlando, later by Billy Fury
Song lyrics, Singles

“I'm a songwriter first, have always been, and probably always will be.”

As quoted in "Will you still love me tomorrow?" by Rachel Louis Snyder in Salon (19 June 1999) http://www.salon.com/people/feature/1999/06/19/king/index.html
Contexto: I'm a songwriter first, have always been, and probably always will be. Making the demo is a natural product of writing a song; after that, I'm happy to hear other people do it in other ways.

“The song is the center; the song is the key. If you don't have a good song you don't have anything by my value.”

As quoted in "The King is Still Alive" in The Birmingham Post [England] (6 November 2001)

“One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be.
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl.”

One Fine Day (1963), Co-written with Gerry Goffin, recorded by The Chiffons
Song lyrics, Singles

“Hey girl I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
And hey girl I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye.”

Hey Girl (1963), Co-written with Freddie Scott and Gerry Goffin, recorded by Freddie Scott and Donny Osmond
Song lyrics, Singles

“Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound.”

Way Over Yonder
Song lyrics, Tapestry (1971)

“When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.”

To show me you understand
And something happens to me.

“I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me.
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain.
I'll do my crying in the rain.”

Song lyrics, Singles

“Tonight you're mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
But will you love me tomorrow?”

“And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.”

And they ain't the kind that you can see
Woh these chains of love got a hold on me yeah.”
