Looking at you
I’m almost home again
Something in you
Puts me at ease
Yes, I know that you’re
Suspicious of me
Do I mean the things I say?
You know I’ve been in love before
That much is true
But though I’ve been in love before
It wasn’t with you

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I’m alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away

Being with you
I’m like a child again
Your eyes can see
Clearer than mine
No one ever made me quite so aware
No one ever took the time
The time it took surprises me
Nothing’s the same
As if my life began again
Hearing your name

Ooh, Sandy
Could we spend the day together?
You know how rainy weather
Gets me down when I’m alone
You, Sandy
You gotta be a friend today
An hour with you would
Chase the winter away

Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Sandy have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Sandy - The Carpenters and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Sandy by The Carpenters in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Sandy" means the words set to the music of Sandy, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Carpenters. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Sandy and the lyrics to Sandy are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Carpenters who came here looking just for the lyrics to Sandy, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
