Carole King
This Time
[Verse 1]
I go through the motions of being with people
When deep in my soul, I wanna be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know

[Verse 2]
It feels like an ocean of time we're apart
I know that I've said it before (Last night I realized)
But this time when I come home (You mean the world to me)
I will stay with you (You're the most important thing)
This time's the last time that I'm gonna go

[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and imagine me home again
It isn't so far away (Gotta hold on)
Soon I'll be back and you'll never be alone again
This time I mean to stay
(This time, this time, this time, this time, this time)

[Bridge]
I promise you this time I'll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything (Anything, anything)
I would give you everything
'Cause you are everything to me
[Verse 3]
But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won't be easy to do
'Cause all I wanna do is kiss you, touch you
Hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I'll stay with you, but 'til then

[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say (Never gonna go)
Soon I'll be back and you'll never be alone again
This time (This time) I mean to stay (Gotta hold on)
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
(This time, this time, this time, this time, this time)
This time I mean to stay
(This time, this time, this time, this time)
