Instead of the lyrics, “So far away / Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore? / It would be so fine to see your face at my door / It doesn’t help to know you’re just time away,” she sings, “So far away / Everybody has to stay in one place anymore / It would be so fine to see your face at my door / Doesn’t help to know / You’re just time away.”

Watch Carole King’s video below. Her voice is so comforting in this tough time. Shee also shares words of comfort on her Instagram page. She wrote, “This is me self-isolating as a healthy (knock wood!) elder taking extra precautions. I just finished getting dressed as if I were going out. I even put on a little bit of lipstick and blush and earrings. Despite being isolated, I’m making every effort to look and feel my best and do normal things such as making my bed, vacuuming, and doing yoga, stretching, and dancing. Don’t let the new “normal” get you down. We will get through this.”
