Lyrics This Time - Carole King

I go through the motions of being with people
When deep in my soul, I want to be where you are
I know we speak every night
But words only go so far, I know

It feels like an ocean of time we're apart
I know that I've said it before (last night I relapsed)
But this time when I come home (you mean the world to me)
I will stay with you (you're the most important thing)
This time's the last time that I'm gonna go

Just close your eyes and imagine me home again
It isn't so far away (gotta hold on)
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time, I mean to stay

This time (this time)
This time (this time)
This time

I promise you this time, I'll do whatever it takes
To stay right by your side
I would do anything (anything), I would give you everything
'Cause you are everything to me

But until then
Gotta keep our emotions under control
It won't be easy to do
'Cause all I want to do is kiss you, touch you
Hold you, love you, promise, I promise
I promise you, I'll stay with you, but 'til then

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
I mean every word I say (never gonna go)
Soon I'll be back, and you'll never be alone again
This time (this time) I mean to stay (gotta hold on)

Just close your eyes, and imagine me home again
Soon I will be on my way (never gonna go)
This time I mean it, you'll never be alone again
This time, I mean to stay

This time
This time
This time
This time
This time
This time

I mean to stay
This time
This time
This time
