[edit] Trivia
- The music video features some footage of Karen and Richard at work in the studio. After Karen sang the line, "the promise of morning light", it faded from the studio to a fountain in Huntington Library Gardens in San Marino, California. It then featured some footage of a Japanese bridge.
- This was the Carpenters' eleventh number-one single on the U.S. Easy Listening chart. All eleven of these songs reached number one within a span of five years (June 1970 to May 1975).
