Text: Carpenters. Close To You. I Kept On Loving You.

(Paul Williams and Roger Nichols)

I ran away from you
and left you crying,
And though I'm here to stay
you think I'm lying
But I've changed my ways
and my wandering days are through;
and through it all,
I've kept on loving you.

Chorus:
Don't worry baby please don't cry,
I'm home for good and I will never leave you
Don't worry baby please don't cry,
You must believe me and I will never leave you.

You've heard this all before
I don't deny it
The road was long and wide
I had to try it
Though I hurt you girl
These were things I had to do
But through it all
I kept on loving you.

Chorus:
