木匠兄妹由著名的歌星卡朋特与她哥哥理查德·卡朋特组成，卡伦·卡朋特1950年生于美国康耐狄格州，从小在哥哥的影响下学习乐器，成了一名鼓手，大她三岁的哥哥理查德是个非常有才华的青年，担任钢琴伴奏和制作人，并创作了大量歌曲。后来在著名经纪人德纽文的帮助下，进入了美国流行乐坛。1970年一曲《靠近你》（Close To You）荣登排行榜首，这使木匠兄妹一炮走红，70年代中他们不断有佳作问世，成为无数美国青年的偶像，尼克松总统称卡朋特兄妹是最出色的美国青年。

Love, look at the two of us

Strangers in many ways

We've got a lifetime to share

So much to say

And as we go

From day to day

I'll feel you close to me

But time alone will tell

Let's take a lifetime to say

"I knew you well"

For only time will tell us so

And love may grow

For all we know.
