Lyrics

Carla?s Song
Words and Music by James Horning

I?ll take your hand and we will run
And we will race the setting sun
And we will laugh and we will play
And we?ll proclaim ?let?s seize the day?.

Funny how you seemed to come right out of thin air
I turned around and you were there
I could hardly trust my eyes to look at you and see
I?d found the one I thought could never be

And you, amaze me
And you, you?ve changed me

I?ll take your hand and we will run
And we will race the setting sun
And we will laugh and we will play
And we?ll proclaim ?let?s seize the day?.

Just the thought of you coming true is a surprise
But I know it?s real when I look in your eyes
You hold the key to my heart where you now rule
To let you go, well I?d be a fool

Cause you, you?ve changed me
Yes you, you amaze me
You amaze me, you?.

Just the thought of you coming true is a surprise
But I know it?s real when I look in your eyes, in your eyes

Cause you, amaze me
Yes you, you?ve changed me
Yes you, amaze me
You amaze me
You
