Songfacts:
This was the love theme from the 1970 film Lovers and Other Strangers, in which a couple who live together get married.
In late 1970, while the Carpenters had a concert tour in Toronto and Chicago, Richard was worried about what song should follow their previous hits (They Long to Be) Close to You and We’ve Only Just Begun. Their manager advised them to take a short break from their work and go to a movie theatre to see the film. Richard and Karen were immediately taken with this song and agreed that it should be the follow-up to their previous hits. After returning home, they recorded it, released it in December, and it went gold in only two months.
