This song is an album cut from Karen and Richard's fourth album, "A Song For You" The song was featured on the flip side of the "Goodbye To Love" single. I tried several different treatments for this video, but scrapped them all when I found these pictures online that were scanned from a 19th-century children's magazine. They seemed to work best for this video. Hope you like it!

It's me again. No posts. No appreciation of a classic voice and song writing. As Alastair Sim said in "Scrooge", "I'll retire to bedlam".

I've been looking for this song for 30 years, because I didn't know its name. All I recalled was the beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter, and a phrase "crystal clear" (sleep) in the song. It is amazing that I have found this song eventually. I will never forget the name "Crystal Lullaby". Amazing!

Again, as with Mark Knopfler videos, a year goes by between posts, and only 2 posts since. I guess the Carpenters & Mark Knopfler, (et. al.) are relegated to Rodney Dangerfield status (no respect). Anyways, the photo selection could not have been more brilliant for this song. Especially enjoyable for people like me who day dream their life away/don't like reality.

this song brings tears to my eyes,i'm ashamed that being a carpenters fan I've never heard it before until I purchased their 40/40 cd and it was there.

Ned: Thanks so much for posting this song. It brings back a lot of good memories, since I used to sing this to my three infant daughters each night to put them gently to sleep. I hope each of them treasure this song as much as I do!

Yeah, Richard wasn't the best vocally, and you are the first one I've seen to point out what I feel I've been hearing for years, namely, a lisp. Here comes the BUTT - You state you love their music, while chastising Richard for being at the helm - and he was. As Karen once said (not verbatim) "Richard picks them, writes, plays, & produces the songs. Other than that, he doesn't do much". I kinda think he knew what he was doing, and what suited Karen.

Ditto..Karen carpenter is simply the best singer that makes everything so beautifully common and that is very difficult to do...

No matter how many times I hear this song it takes me far from this mortal coil to a very peaceful place from where I wish not to return from.

I don't care what YOU think. My opinion stands.

I disagree. Richard's voice is so bland. He has a lisp too.I think he's the reason the Carpenters were branded uncool and syrupy. He likes to take credit for being at the helm. As such, he's the reason they were considered uncool. That being said, overall I love their music. Karen was beyond words. Richard was so-so as a vocalist.

Como me hace volar este tema. Me emociona mucho, no puedo evitarlo ni superarlo. 40 años escuchandolos. Viviran para siempre en nuestros corazones. No habra otra voz igual.
