Can I Keep You? Lyrics - Singles - Nikki Loy

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.
