  • When lights go down, I see no reason
    For you to cry, we've been through this before
    In every time, in every season
    God knows I've tried
    So please don't ask for more

    Can't you see it in my eyes?
    That this might be our last goodbye
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Things they change my friend, whoa oh
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Maybe we'll meet again
    Somewhere, again

    I read your mind with no intentions
    Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
    It all takes time
    Whole lot of patience
    If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain?

    Can't you see it in my eyes?
    That this might be our last goodbye
    (Oh ho ho)
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Oh, things they change my friend
    Whoa oh
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Maybe we'll meet again

    Oh
    Can't you see it in my eyes?
    That this might be our last goodbye
    (Oh ho ho)
    Oh
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Oh, things they change
    Carrie, Carrie, Carrie (Oh ho ho)
    Carrie
    Carrie
    Maybe we'll meet again
    Oh, somewhere again

  • James from Le127sj Europe are a very under rated group.
    The lead sing is brilliant.
    Had lots of hits
  • George from Vancouver, CanadaAn excellent song. Only found out today that Europe did it. So Final Countdown is not a one-hit-wonder, as some are saying. . .
