Carole King Quotes

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now.
Come on baby, do the locomotion.
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now.

Tonight you're mine completely, You give your love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes, But will you love me tomorrow?

Now and forever, you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife.

When you walked into my life? Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken.
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken.

When my soul was in the lost and found,
You came along to claim it.

Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more.

I'm only halfway to paradise,
So near, yet so far away.

I think I'm going back
To the things I learned so well
In my youth.
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough
To know the truth.

My tears are fallin'
'Cause you've taken her away.
And though it really hurts me so,
There's something that I've gotta say. Take good care of my baby.
Please don't ever make her blue.
Just tell her that you love her.
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do.
