CAN'T STOP ME

I just can't imagine how it would be
To look in your eyes and feel misery
I can't believe what I would say
If I moved for your hand and you moved it away
Oh, and I may have done wrong
Won't you give some time
It won't take long
It's a yes-and-no game
All pain and no gain
You're here in my life
It's what I'm here for

Can't stop me from loving you
And nothing can take the place of you

All my advice I give it to thee
So take my heart and treat it honestly
If you don't take what I have for you
You'll never know what you're gonna lose

Oh, and I may have done wrong
Won't you give some time
It won't take me long
It's a yes-and-no game
All pain and no gain
You're here in my life
It's what I'm here for

OH CAROL

I've got to tell you
girl you're in danger
No one can save you now
You're going to be mine somehow
You didn't know me
But to me you're no stranger
Saw you each day every week
I was too shy to speak
I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now I've got to say..

Oh Carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, I know it's love for real
I know it's love, I know the way I feel
Carol, you're my dream come true
Carol, when I look at you
Carol, say you'll never go
Carol, now I need you so

Carol when I hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight

Can't you feel it
It's all around you
Reach out and take it all
don't be afraid to fall
Don't want to lose you
now that I've found you
I'll always be around
I'll never let you down

I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now I've got to say..

CHORUS

Carol when I hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight

CLOSE TO YOU

As I stood and said goodbye
With a lump in my throat
Couldn't bear the hurt inside
As I found your foolish note

While I understand your pain
I could see what you've to gain
By leaving me alone
Why won't you come back home

But your love whispers through my life
And I can't fake the pain inside

If you'd only let me get close to you
Oh girl, I'd feel the world's at my feet
And I'd know that all my dreams have come true
For me and for you
Just wait and believe, you'll see
I want to get close to you

Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

Well the road was long
And my tears have all dried up
Because the distance we shared
Was an enemy of love

I got my bag on my back
And my coat in my hand
I'm gonna take this distance
Unto another man's land

But your love whispers through my life
And I can't fake the pain inside

CHORUS

Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

I want to get close to you

Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

So close to you
Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

COMING HOME NOW

"Weeks, day, hours, minutes
('till I'll be home)."

A kiss on the cheek in the old town park
Carved your name in the shape of a heart
Walked together, hand in hand
I didn't feel the rain

And there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying I'm doing fine
And there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying I'm doing fine

And I'm coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there
And I'm coming home now
it's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there

"Weeks, days ('till I'll be home)".

Children on the street still playing their games
Smiles on their faces have never changed
I hope it's all the same
I didn't leave in vain

And I'm coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there
Coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
And this is where I'll stay...

(Dear the close ones
I remember seeing
Here in my heart and overseas
I feel you close and not so far
Soon we'll be together
And this time, it's forever)

Coming home now
Been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there...

CRYING IN THE NIGHT

Alone just sitting there
Thinking of you till it hurts
You're young, so innocent
Without a care in the world
You're there but not visible
My expectations become

But do you think it's right?
And do you think it's right?
Crying in the night
For crying in the night
(ooh in the night)

My road was different
There's so much that you have to learn
A little hand in mine
And all the smiles and laughter is fine
Wherever I'll be, land or sea
I will care for you

CHORUS

Each day provides it's own gifts
Time brings all to pass
Writing comes more easily
When you've got something to say

You're young and beautiful
Have no enemy but time
In time, take time
When time does last
For time is no time
When time is passed
