THIS TIME
by Carole King
I go through the motions of being with people
When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know
It feels like an ocean of time we`re apart
I know that I`ve said it before
But this time when I come home
I will stay with you
This time`s the last time that I`m gonna go
Just close your eyes and imagine me home again
It isn`t so far away
Soon I`ll be back, and you`ll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
I promise you this time I`ll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything, I would give you everything
`cause you are everything to me
But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won`t be easy to do
`cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you,
hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I`ll stay with you, but `til then
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say
Soon I`ll be back, and you`ll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)
This time I mean it, you`ll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
