Time stands still, baby when i touch you
i can't believe the way i'm feelin'
please don't speak, it's taken me all this time
to find the strength just to say
That i never knew what love was til i met you
never thought that i could act this way
but i'm still afraid to show how much i need you
tell me, what makes a man like me this way
Carrie ann, don't ask me why
baby i work so hard just to hide my emotions
carrie ann, words can't explain
the way that i feel in my heart
Lovers' hearts never quite beat in time
they never find that perfect rhythm
you know i let you down many times
but this i promise to you
that i'll never lead you through doors of deception
i won't bind you to a chain of lies
though i know my love for you won't be perfection
what i give to you will last all time
Carrie ann, don't ask me why
baby i work so hard just to hide my emotions
carrie ann, my words can't explain
the way that i feel in my heart
Take a little time to realize
i'll love you faithfully
just take a little time and you'll see
that baby it's me
Carrie ann, don't ask me why
baby i work so hard just to hide my emotions
carrie ann, my words can't explain
the way that i feel in my heart
