Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Long ago we had our dreams
And that was all that we needed
Then all at once we got to see
The cycles we repeated
Baby, can't you be real
I said, Baby, can't you be real
Anyone can look into your eyes
And tell you what you're missin'
It's been told to you many times before
But you refuse to listen
Baby, can't you be real
Oh, Baby, can't you be real
I said, Baby, can't you be real
