I search papers and magazines, Everything I can get hold of, Tea leaves and sweet dream, Even the stars above, And what I keep on asking, I'm not even sure I wanna know, But I keep on asking oh.... Chorus: Can I keep you? Can I keep you? 'Til the clocks wind down, 'Til the sun burns out, 'Til my final breath is the only sound, Can I keep you? And what twist of fate, Would take me from your arms? Could it be carelessness or a deliberate hand? A force of nature or a woman? Too much to withstand, and would you wanna go? Chorus. Bridge: Without you it's constant aching, Without you my heart keeps breaking, Without you my world is shaken down, down, down, It's shaken down, down, down. And so I commit to treasuring, Every moment that I'm near you, 'Cause none can forsee how long I can be with you, And I don't wanna lose you, so I won't hold on too tight, And I don't wanna lose you, but I'm so aware I might. Chorus.
