Carrie Ann Lyrics - Edge Of The Century - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung

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
