My cat just passed on today. He was sick for a while. He would be 15 human years old in a few months. This song just kept playing in my head when I made the decision to bring him to the vet again for the final time. I love you Simba and I know you’re sleeping in a better place with no pain ❤️
This is my first time listening to this song, I am a GenZ, not a fan of 80's and 90's songs, but the moment i heard the song and it made me imagine the beauty of the former generation, 😻 I can imagine how old generation enjoy their lives, without being held captive by social medias and technologies.
I was 17 years old in 1969. This is my first concert that I saw the carpenters. I will never forget it. I am now 71 years old and I still remember all these songs probably word for word.
Fantabulous lyrics. As an introvert who’s always dependent on one special person wherever I go, I completely feel the lines. I feel like I won’t last a day without that special one.
Lol, if it was "I won't last a day without food" it means she loves eating and can't let a day pass without eating. But its not. She was scared of getting a weight due to her anorexia nervosa therefore she refused to eat. @kevinmartin7541
She was my heartthrob in the 70s..There has NEVER been a more natural voice from her days to today ! She is songing to all of us in our dreams today.We will all be together again singing ❤
My first memories of this song go waaaay back...I was only 6 or 7 living with my single, working mom who had to take me to a day care in the mornings before school because she had to be at work very early, so a sweet elderly lady then drove me to school after breakfast each morning. I seem to rememeber her name was Mrs. Corbitt. She so kindly let me listen to the radio as we drove. This song played on those mornings and made me feel so happy. Every time I hear this song, it brings back that memory. So, I can say, I've loved this song for 50 years !!
As a kid growing up in Manchester in the 70's, I had no idea of the gift my parents were giving me through playing music in the house and on car journeys. Buddy Holly, ABBA, The Carpenters, Nat King Cole, The Beatles, Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel, the list goes on & on. I did the same with my kids and now I do it for my Grandkids. Sing-a-longs in the car which to them are fun but to me are priceless.
Your parents gave you the best gift anyone could ever give a child, and this is the gift of Music and Love. And I'm happy that you continue to give the same to your children and grandchildren. God bless your family more!
I can not forget this song,coz 8during the graduation of my eldest son he sang this for me to let me know that he won't last a day w/out me esp.during his early childhood days,that's why i love this song so much to remind that a child won't last a day w/out their mom😍
I can't think of an adjective to accurately characterize the voice of (may she RIP) Karen Carpenter. I only know that I get choked-up each time I listen to her songs (this one in particular).
I just lost my cat yesterday. When we were at the vet, when he was too sick to carry himself, this was the song that kept playing. I stayed with him till his last breath; he died in my arms. Ill miss you so much cloud9
Since i was child always ko tong naririnig piniplay ng mama ko. Naiiyak talaga ako pag naririnig ko tong kanta. Remind me of my mom namimiss ko na mama ko😭😭😭
This song was being played in my head the day I was reading my maternal grandmother's obituary as she passed away on August 1st 1997. RIP grandma Adams! I miss you!
This song gives me back all the memories of my parents who listened to the carpenters all the time. The magic in Karen Carpenters voice was a gift to everyone. I miss you mom and dad
#glorytogod this is like #TheGreatestStoryEverTold 🎉🙌🏽🥂💖 the LOVE OF GOD and a #love song about Christ 😊 "I won't last a day without You" ( #Jesus ) 💯🕺😅💃🏽 HALLELUJAH #rocktheword John 3:16-17 🥰
Sung by an angel named Karen Anne Carpenter...21 years old girl but so in love with KC...Love you Karen...The World is still yours even in this generation...your songs is no era...
My name is Greg Campbell l am 62 years old now but I always loved the carpenters I was 12 years old at that time all I wish for is to see Yung people in joy this kind of music
Everytime I hear this song, there’s always one person comes into my mind. I missed him. It’s been months since he left me without any words but I’m still holding in his promises that he’ll wait for me. Well, I know I need to accept the fact that even how much we want someone to stay, they’ll soon leave. But I wish, wherever he is right now, I hope he’s okay.
Gotta share something that got stuck in my mind. I was 6 years old when my mom introduced me to their songs, and I loved it so much that even now that I am 17 years old, I always search for their songs in the internet. Kids and/or teens nowadays would probably listen to pop songs, including me, tbh. But, for me, it would be precious if some people, particularly in young ages, would appreciate and love these types of songs. 🦋
Back then, when i don't hangout with my grandparents. I never knew what song should i listen to, because i was not interested with 1900's songs. But when i started to hangout with my grandparents, i've been hearing this song over and over again when im with my grandparents all the time. this day im going to memorize this song with love.💗 I don't know who is Karen Carpenter by now, But Rest in peace Karen. 🕊️
I am a fan of Karen Carpenters. I was just a teenager when i heard this song through my Daddy. Now i am 44 years old. Now this song is a theme song of my wife for us. Godbless! Thank you for your music Karen.
“I Won’t Last a Day Without You” was the final single from the Carpenters’ album “A Song For You” (1972). Originally, it was only a LP track. However, two years passed before it was issued as a single. Indeed, during 1973-1974, Richard and Karen found themselves with a busy touring schedule, keeping them from crafting new material. So they selected this piece for single release. Over the years, a host of acclaimed artists have covered this song : Paul Williams (who co-authored it with Roger Nichols), Shirley Bassey, Rosemary Clooney, Bobby Darin, Maureen McGovern, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, to name a few… 💙🎶💜 Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed will you remain, Karen Anne Carpenter (1950 - 1983)… 🌹
Thank you for setting the record straight. (No pun intended)😮 A great loss, but a beautiful voice captured on record for all with musical appreciation to hear and enjoy.
