Carrie Lyrics
Europe
Lyrics
When lights go down
I see no reason
For you to cry
We've been through this before
In every time
In every season
God knows I've tried
So please don't ask for more
Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Carrie, Carrie
Things they change my friend
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again somewhere again
I read your mind
With no intentions
Of being unkind
I wish I could explain
It all takes time
Whole lot of patience
If it's a crime
How come I feel no pain
Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Carrie, Carrie
Things they change my friend
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye
Carrie, Carrie
Things they change
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Or somewhere again
When lights go down
