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
