Carola Album

The rain is falling, I hear the richochet
All streets are empty, so cold and grey
There's a sound of nothing, why do you say
That we are different, like night and day

Hey boy if you could only see
That I won't give up easily

With every beat of my heart
I'll back it up to win your love
I'll be there with every beat of my heart
You are the one I won't let go
I'll be there with every beat of my heart

A Sunday morning a sleepy town
You've got me thinking of you all the time
I believe in there's so much more
The love I'm feeling is worth living for

Hey boy if you could only see
That I won't give up easily

With every beat of my heart...

Hey boy if you could only see
That I won't give up easily

I'll back it up to win your love
I'll be there with every beat of my heart
You are the one I won't let go
I'll be there

So help me Lord, I'm giving it all I can
I'm a woman and you're my man
I'm getting up
Oh please, don't put me down
The tears I've cried
God knows I've tried to make a brand new start
With every beat of my heart

With every beat of my, with every beat of my heart
I'll back it up to win your love
I'll be there with every beat of my heart
You are the one I won't let go
I'll be there with every beat of my heart

I'll back it up to win your love...

With every beat of my heart

Everyone said she was lucky
Had a beautiful home, in the best neighbourhood.
Never short on friends or money,
maybe just a little too good..

Such a bright future ahead,
thats what everyone said.
Thats what they said..

Chorus:
She's the girl who had everything
She was her daddy's and her momma's pride
She's the girl who had evertyhing,
that money could by..

Her daddy worked late, most every evening,
her mother was just too caught up in herself,
they never knew,
what she was going through,
and noone heard her crying for help..
Any new thing that she'd use,
was no substitute
for the love she couldn't find

She's the girl who had everything
She had her daddy's smile, and her momma's eyes
She's the girl who had everything,
everybody asked why...

She reached for something to hold,
to break ehr fall,
she was losing control,
they weren't there at all,
she felt so lonely and small,
lonely..

If they'd only taken the time, to know what she felt inside,
before it was too late,
she'd be here today..

She's the girl who had everything,
But sometimes it seems that it just ain't enough,
She's the girl who had everything,
everything but love..
She's the girl who had everything
Perfect smile, was the perfect disguise..
She's the girl who had everything
(Everything but love) She had everything but love
(everything but love) Uh ooh, oooh, yeahh...

When I close my eyes
I can still recall the time
I just close my eyes
And turn turning out the light
Darkness brings you back in sight

Why did you have to go
Will memories of the time
Show up in a dream that won't come true

Things we used to do will make me
Dream of you through the night
Till darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?
I just close my eyes
I just close my eyes

When I close my eyes
I hear your voice call my name
I just close my eyes
And try, try to hear again
Deep inside your words remain

And now when you are gone
Three words that left my life
I only use them when I write a song

Words we used to say
Words we used to say will make me
Dream of you through the night
Till darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?
Dream of you tonight
Until darkness turns into light
How can I hide my tears when I cry?
I just close my eyes
I just close my eyes

Spending time in this dirty city
Feels like I'll never come clean
Could be I'll just go crazy
Working on the ways and means

I close my eyes and feel you here
I can see your face
I reach inside and I feel no fear
When I'm with you I'm in a state of grace

You've got me in a state of grace
This human heart is overflowing
And the world's not such a lonely place
Cause I'm standin' in a state of grace

I can take whatever they got
I can take the rain
You're the calm in the raging storm
You're the eye of the hurricane

And when you love me
You lift me up to a higher place
And I am healed by the heat of your touch
Taking me into a state of grace

You've got me in a state of grace...

And I'm not alone and never will
I be on my own
I carry you with me
Carry you with me

You've got me in a state of grace...

Lost like a child in the dark
A whisper of sadness cries in your heart
Why can't you open your eyes
So you can see how this love is to be
There can be no mistaking
My heart is right here waiting

Give me one more chance
Just tell me how to reach you
And I'll be your friend
Give me one more chance
I have to know where to begin
One more chance

I am no stranger to pain
I know what it's like to stand in the rain
Don't try to hide what is true
You know how I feel it's all up to you
Why can't you hear me calling
I'll keep your world from falling

Give me one more chance...

Give me one more chance
Don't be afraid to show me
What you feel inside
Give me one more chance
You can not hide behind your pride
So give me one more chance
One more chance

I'll wipe away your tears
You'll see
Believe in me if you love me

Give me one more chance...

Oh I want you back
If you love me, give me one more chance

Why do we live and die?
Why does love make us cry?
We wanted all the answers
We were younger then
We thought we could change the world
Hand in hand

I can remember when
We made sand turn to stone
And built our castles high
Time and tears have torn us down
I'm afraid to face the future
Hold me now
Where do we go from here?

After all the innocence is gone
(After all the tears)
It takes courage to believe
Love will last forever
Dreams die along the way
But together we are strong
I need you now to carry on

Why does time move so fast
We've got to make each moment last
We only get one lifetime
Everyday we're born again
We've got to learn to care again
Hold me now
I don't want to live without you

After all the innocence is gone...

You and I can fly again
Chasing down the rainbow's end
In the frozen hour of the darkest night
We can find the light

After all the innocence is gone...

I've had enough of your acting like you own me
You call this love
But it's just your way of trying to control me
I know my rights
I learned them in school
And I won't live my life by your rules

This is a declaration of my independence from you
You pushed me over the edge
And my pledge and allegiance is through
I'm on permanent vacation
From this nowhere situation
This is a declaration of my independence from you

You shut me out when I offer my opinions
You put me down
You say I'm too emotional to make good decisions
I just can't breath there's no room to grow
I'm strong enough to stand on my own

This is a declaration of my independence from you...

For a while my heart was really broken
But that was before
For a while I left these words unspoken
But not anymore

This is my emancipation
From this nowhere situation
Declaration of my independence
Got my independence
Gotta get out
Got my independence from you
I've got to get my independence from you
I am free, I am free, I am free, I am free today
My lord knows I am free
Declaration of my independence
This is... it's a declaration

You think I would fall apart when you leave
Well, I've got something you should know
I'll live
Thinking you can break my heart when you please
But I'd rather be alone than to take this

Baby, don't you think I know
I've got the goods on you
You can't have someone else and me
I won't pretend anymore

So stop telling me lies
Just say your goodbyes
Stop giving me reasons
I'll live I'll live
Stop telling me lies
There's too much to hide
I cannot believe it

You think I won't last a day without you
Well let me ease your mind
I'll live
You think you can play with love as you choose
But baby, I'm not the kind to take it

I won't say I don't love you
I know you're not that blind
You say you can see right through
Oh baby, so can I

So stop telling me lies...

So stop telling me lies... Ч6
Oh, stop, stop tell me lies
I don't wanna hear your lies

1 2 3 4

Baby, don't you think it shows
I'd say your number is up
I can't act like I don't know
I've done enough for your love

So stop telling me lies...

So stop telling me lies... Ч6
I'll live
Oh don't tell me lies
No, I don't wanna hear your lies

1 2 3 4

So stop telling me lies...

Never gonna let no one break me down
Hanged tough, gave it my best
When you tried to run me into the ground
It's rough, no time to rest
No tears now that I'm so much stronger
No fears cause I got what it takes

Give me your best shot
That's what I'm ready for
Whatever you have to dish out
Give me your best shot
Don't have to aim so far
This time I'm here to stay
Don't think I'll run away

Nothing's gonna stop what I feel inside
Don't say you know what's right
Searching for the pleasure to hurt my pride
I say this is my life
My heart knows a way to survival
Don't start looking for betrayal

Give me your best shot...

SPOKEN:
How's it gonna be
We're supposed to be free
Put a pen in your hand
And you think you're the man
Don't try to tell me how to run my life
I know it's not all sugar and spice
But love has made me strong
gave me the strength to carry on
I am no judge
But if you're never wrong
you cast the first stone

1 2 3

Give me your best shot
Don't think I'll run away
Give me your best shot

Give me your best shot...

I'll never give up, never give up
I'll be there
I'm the winner, you're the loser
I'm never gonna stay
Don't think I'll run away

Once I lived my life alone
So far away in darkness
My soul was lost in time
Tried to make it on my own
I built a bridge of coldness
Afraid to cross the line
I opened my eyes and you were there

You gave me all the reasons to live
My dreams now I will give
Cause when you touched me
Like a child you set my heart free
I won't be hiding anymore

I have all the reasons to live
My heart tries to forgive
The memories I left behind forever
You show me the way

Looking back through all the years
I tried to touch those moments
I gave my heart away
Was it worth so many tears?
The pain I felt was endless
Sometimes you have to pay

You called out my name and I was there

You gave me all the reasons to live...

And sometimes when I feel I can't go on
I hear your voice and close my eyes
We make our stand together so strong
Under the lights of heavenly skies

I have all the reasons to live
My heart tries to forgive
The memories I left behind forever
You show me the way, show me the way

I hear a voice inside me
I feel the joy around me
Free as the wind
Spreading love to the end of time
I see the dreams of freedom
Riding on wings of wisdom
Always so near
We should leave all the fears behind

Stop running away from love
It's never too late to open your heart
Give every moment of life
And your world can never fall apart

I want to share this feeling
I know my heart is willing
Please take my hand
No one should ever stand alone
No matter how long you wait
time will not change your mistakes
It means so much
If you reach out and touch someone

Stop running away from love...

Stop running away from love
Cause you can't escape the feelings inside
Just let it rise above
There's so much to give nothing to hide

Inside my heart forever
This burning flame will never die
Getting stronger day by day

Stop running away from love...

Stop running away from love
Cause you can't escape the feelings inside
Just let it rise above
There's so much to give nothing to hide

You gave my heart a glimpse of your light
No more chasing dreams into the night
There's a new horizon calling like an endless symphony
Now it's time to wipe away these tears
Gotta try and challange all my fears
Take a chance and live my life full of energy

You are my destiny
Together with you I'm on a high adventure
Love is what I'm searching for
In a time when we need
All the hope in the world
You're my destiny
The moment is here for me to find this treasure
No feelings to betray
Nothing can stand in my way

Walking down the road of no return
Full of lonely trails that always burn
I will never be so blind
Cause all I need is you
I believe in giving all my heart
Every breath I take feels like a new start
Inspiration lives forever
Deep inside I know it's true

You are my destiny...

And when I sail into troubled waters
I take it all in stride
I am free cause I know you're here by my side

You are my destiny...
