Styx – Carrie Ann lyrics

Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals 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
