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
