出生于美国康乃狄格州组海芬市的The Carpenters兄妹，父亲是一位爵士迷，所以自小兄妹俩就生活在一个极富音乐氛围的家庭环境里。收录在他们第二张专辑、也是令他们成名的专辑中的歌曲"We Have Only Just Begun"最是能代表当时兄妹俩的心情写照。

Artist：The Carpenters
Song：We've Only Just Begun

We've only just begun to live

White lace and promises

A kiss for luck and we're on our way

We've only begun

Before the rising sun we fly

So many roads to choose

We start our walking

And learn to run

And yes! We've just begun

Sharin' horizons that are new to us

Watchin' the signs along the way

Talkin' it over just the two of us

Workin' together day to day, together

And when the evening comes we smile

So much of life ahead

We'll find a place where there's room to grow

And yes! We've just begun

Sharin' horizons that are new to us

Watchin' the signs along the way

Talkin' it over just the two of us

Workin' together day to day, together, together

And when the evening comes we smile

So much of life ahead

We'll find a place where there's room to grow

And yes! We've just begun
