The Carpenters In Concert is episode 1, Season 4 of the BBC's In Concert music television series, directed and produced by Stanley Dorfman. The concert was The Carpenters debut BBC concert, and filmed live in BBC Studios and first aired on BBC Two on November 6, 1971. This is "And When He Smiles"
Richard Carpenter's comment on this song...."If you have found this hidden track, congratulations! This song was written and introduced by a group called Wildweeds. It got some regional airplay and I heard it while driving from one engagement to the next in early 1971. We both thought it was catchy, and I put together this arrangement. Karen and I recorded a track for it, but since Karen was the drummer, there is no "work lead". This is a live recording, done on September 25, 1971 at the BBC television Studios., London, for our first UK special, which was originally broadcast on November 6, 1971."
Lyrics
And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
He wouldn't think to make it rain
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And when he smiles he makes me sigh
He doesn't have a point of view
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
And warms the day with morning dew
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew.
