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.

Monday Without You Lyrics

Carole King

Words and Music by
Carole King, Paul Brady & Mark Hudson

Yesterday was a perfect day
Living in make-believe, perfect together
In your eyes I was number one
And you were all the world to me forever,
ever and ever
But you have another life
You're going to somewhere I don't belong

[Chorus]
I can't think about Monday
I can't think about watching you walk away
I only want to be with you,

I just want to be with you
I can't think about anything else but Sunday
and the touch of you
I only want to be with you,
I can't think about Monday without you

In an empty room
Waiting for a reason why
Trying, crying, dying
I know that it's over
But I don't want to hear you say goodbye

[Chorus]
