Karen Carpenter had a beautiful voice. Her brother, Richard Carpenter, composed the music for this song in 1966 when he was 19 years old. Frank Pooler wrote the lyrics twenty years earlier, in 1946, when he also was 19 years old. The song Pooler wrote was to be a Christmas gift for his girlfriend whom he was missing while being away from her during a visit with his parents at Christmas time. Sadly, their relationship ended before he was able to present it to her.
