[VERSE 1]
There you are
Shiny as a morning star
It's a figure of speech
But you're still out of reach
You never told me loving you could be so wrong and right
And it's gonna be a lonely night
I turn to you
You turn away
You're looking at someone else
And here am I
Loving you more and more
We've got an open door, my love
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
[Chorus]
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
[VERSE 2]
C'est la vie
So you wanna play another part
Can you say goodbye?
Can you live a lie?
She'll never give you what I gave you was my breaking heart
Better than I ever knew
And if you can live without my love
You're really gonna be alone
And here am I
Walking against the crowd
Calling your name out loud, my love
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
[REPEAT Chorus]
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
[BRIDGE]
Carried away
Baby there ain't no final word
I'll be yours again
I got a world of tenderness
Yours until the end
[REPEAT Chorus]
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
[REPEAT Chorus]
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
There you are
Shiny as a morning star
It's a figure of speech
But you're still out of reach
You never told me loving you could be so wrong and right
And it's gonna be a lonely night
I turn to you
You turn away
You're looking at someone else
And here am I
Loving you more and more
We've got an open door, my love
Oh let it be just a state of mind
And suddenly you appear
[Chorus]
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
[VERSE 2]

I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
I'm carried away
To be carried away
