演唱：Karen Carpenter 　

选自：《Karen　Carpenter》A&M　5405888—2

We've tried our hand at love before

We've been around the game enough

to know the score

But then is then, and now is now

And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it's your first time

leave your sadness behind

Make believe it's your first time

And I'll make believe it's mine

The door is closed

It's you and me

We'll take our time with love

This moment's ours

tonight's the night

And if we fall in love

Well, that's all right

Make believe it's your first time

leave your sadness behind

Make believe it's your first time

And I'll make believe it's mine

Make believe it's your first time

And I'll make belive it's mine

卡彭特来了。终于等来了一位人人都熟悉的歌手，该拍手才是。

　　卡彭特的歌大多数都被播得烂熟了，这里特别选出一首大家较少听到的。这张专辑的母带其实1996年才被唱片公司从仓库里翻出来重见天日。这是卡彭特小姐得神经性厌食症谢世前一年录制的首张个人专辑(以前的唱片都和他哥哥一起以”木匠”乐队名义发行)，故而倍显珍贵。

　　录音出奇的好，这得归功于名制作人 Phil Ramone。将母带重刻CD时，依然由 Phil Ramone负责监制，保留了当年的原汁原味。

　　卡彭特低吟浅唱时有一股将人骨头变酥的魔力，你感受到了吗?如果没有，众人都会要求你今后不要再听音乐了。

　　发烧的朋友该做什么?当然是寻找录音中巨细无遗的“口水声”啦。
