Carragher ------------------------------------------------------------ [ | denotes sections sung on actual TV episodes ] (Key: G, Starting note: G) | Why is it that you're so placid? | Oh, how is it that you stay so cool? | Just when you stand so close to me, your lips so near, your bosom too; | and just like this, you tempt my heart, so dangerous...am I a fool? | I wish I could love...so suddenly; | but the time has not yet come, there's no room for me. | My heart runs away...impatiently; | Oh, it's trying to deny...the reality. | I can't just chase it now. | (7 bars) We met among crowds of people. And then we embraced naturally. But then a car came speeding by, with screeching brakes, past you and me. and just like that, we're both surprised, and we forgot...our ecstasy. Is this what love is? Unbearable? Oh when will my ship come in? Will I ever know? I can't take much more of all this woe; I grow foolish by the day; I can't stop, and though... I can't go on like so. (6 bars) Is that a veil you're wearing now, it's dangerous for me to see? And every day, it's you I see, you're turning more...woman to me. Is this what love is? Unbearable? Will tomorrow be sunny? Will it not be so? Will there be a bit of love for me? Oh, will I be in your dreams? Or will you not see? Maybe I'll ask the wind When I love you so, don't tell me no... Will tomorrow be sunny? Will it not be so? Is this what love is? Unbearable? Am I getting close to you? To your heart and soul? Only the wind will know...
