Can I Keep You?

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.
