Description: ( They Long to Be ) Close to You Sheet Music for Piano, Voice, and GuitarRecorded by The Carpenters on A and M Records Words by Hal David, Music by Burt BacharachWCP / Blue Seas Music / JAC Music / U. S. Songs, 1969, 3 pages Condition as shown in photos. Like new. No markings. From Wikipedia Bacharach and David gave Herb Alpert the song after he scored a number one hit in 1968 with "This Guy's in Love with You", which the duo had also written. Alpert recorded the song, but he was displeased with the recording and did not release it. After the Carpenters achieved their first chart success with "Ticket to Ride" in 1969, Alpert convinced them to record their version of the song, believing it was well-suited for them. Carpenter and Alpert collaborated on the song, and the finished product was a 4-minute, 36-second long song. When A&M Records decided to remove the extended coda and release it as a 3-minute, 40-second long single in May 1970, it became A&M's biggest hit since Alpert's "This Guy's in Love with You" from 1968.
