Karen

A timeless superstar she was
You could hear it in her voice
All her dreams, all her love
She could just had a way of 
Touching your soul maybe 'cuz
She had a heart of gold
Oh now even still her songs
Go on and on as if her spirit is
Still reaching out to us from 
The beyond just like an angel
Come home
Karen Carpenter and they still
Long to be close to you as time
Goes by you're still loved by 
Your fans, old and new
A timeless superstar she remains
Something of a legacy preordained
And as her songs go on and on
Every time it's just like an angel
Just like an angel come home.

~Dedicated to Karen Carpenter~

This is a marvelous tribute to one of the best female singers ever. What a voice what a talent. She died before her time and it was a loss for the world. Thank you for sharing this and her memory. She was a timeless superstar as you state. Well done
