Story Behind The Song
Taking a picture is a great excuse to chat up someone and exchange numbers or emails to send the photos. So the singer remembers when these pictures were taken to fill the years with memories. At a later time the picture represents that moment. The singer seeks to melt away the crowed and come together with his love to carry on. The love will neve die, and so they must be together.

Lyrics
CARRY ON © Sean Daly 2005
VERSE 1
I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH TO GIVE
BEFORE THE GIVING CAME BACK
AROUND, THEN THERE YOU WERE
SITTING ON CHAIR LIKE A WORK OF ART
WAITING FOR ME TO PHOTOGRAPH
IMAGES TO FILL THE YEARS WITH MEMORIES
CHORUS:
SO WE CAN CARRY ON, WITH OUR LOVE
CARRY ON CARRY ON
THIS LOVE WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR
I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO
SO CARRY ON, CARRY ON CARRY ON
VERSE 2
LOOKING THROUGH THE CAMERA LENS
I FOCUSED ON MY SPECIAL FRIEND
FRAMED YOUR FACE SMILING AT ME
I COULDN?T HELP IMAGINING, A SCENE WHERE EVERYTHING
DISAPPEARS LEAVING US ALONE
CHORUS
SO WE CAN CARRY ON, WITH OUR LOVE
CARRY ON CARRY ON
THIS LOVE WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR
I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO
I?M SENDING YOU THE PHOTOGRAPH
WITH A POEM I WROTE ACROSS THE BACK
GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO HEAR ME
WORDS OF LOVE ARE JUST A START
THEN I WILL SING AND PLAY GUITAR
AND GIVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAVE
CHORUS
