Tell Me
By: Kevin Carton

Sittin along the edge of the water
the sun's heat today seems a little bit softer
than it usually is for this time of the year
cause fall is ending and winter's near
and you're sittin next to me move a little bit closer
a gut feeling inside says son, you better hold her
you better talk to her, tell her how you feel
it's time to let go. it's time to reveal

(chorus)
so tell me
what you think we will be
is it something we should keep
if it's not then take your ring
and let it go let it fly

you gotta stop don't keep movin'
you're trying to sing a song but the song ain't groovin'
we've gotta talk we've gotta have some fun
now if that ain't gonna happen then this battles done
cause i'm the kinda guy who likes to have a good time
i like to pound on the piano and sing a couple ryhmes
i'll always rise to the occasion, like to listen to the who
maybe write a couple songs about y-o-u

(chorus)

and the sun is going down on our small town
everything's growing dark
and we're drowning in our love
tell me what do you feel in your heart
you've gotta let me know
quit putting on a show. is this love real?
do you feel like the first time we kissed in the sunrise
walkin barefoot in the sand
and the stars were still shining
and you started crying
when i placed this ring in your hand
are you in love with me?
was this meant to be? tell me now
i want you to be my bride
but if you don't feel inside
that we can spend eternity together, forever
growing gray in eachothers arms
tell me now tell me now
and this will all stop

(chorus)
