This one...I don't know...
To me, this is a good "children's song" and that's about all I can say good about it.
I know it was one of their biggest hits, but it doesn't sit well with me with all the rest.
My sister had the single, and I enjoyed its B-Side "Druscilla Penny" much more.
And, to this day, listening to it with its children's vocals...UGH!
I have to say,,,this is my "fingernails on the chalkboard" Carpenters song.
I very rarely include it on any personal compilation that I make.
And, to this day, I will never understand how this song was chosen as a single and there
was little consideration for "This Masquerade", which I am certain would have been a smash.
(And the "too long" never sat well with me)
