The Question

THE QUESTION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Looking down that dark alley

There is no light

No shadow

No sound

I'm terrified to the center of my heart 

I'm terrified to cover that un-ventured ground

I can feel it when I touch you 

It is a shock that opens up my eyes

I'm so afraid to see what I've been missing

I couldn't handle your baby soft kisses tonight 

What is the answer to love?

Why do we ask that question?

Isn't once, isn't once just not enough?

What is the answer to love?

Why do we try so hard so much?

Baby, give me suggestions

Maybe we, maybe we could fall in it all

What is the answer to love?

I know the reason isn't certain 

We're living in material times 

If I could only touch that falling star 

Then maybe I could leave this all behind 

It seems like everyone gets married

They start a life that ends up in dismay

I know they don't plan for that to happen

Still it seems to happen anyway 

What is the answer to love?

Why do we ask that question?

Isn't once, isn't once just not enough?

What is the answer to love?

Why do we try so hard so much?

Baby, give me suggestions

Maybe we, maybe we could fall in it all

What is the answer to love?

I sing a song because I'm single

Holding tight just to follow my dreams

As I do I notice all around me 

That people give their hearts not knowing what it means 

What is to be will always be 

What is the answer to love?

Why do we ask that question?

Isn't once, isn't once just not enough?

What is the answer to love?

Why do we try so hard so much?

Baby, give me suggestions

Maybe we, maybe we could fall in it all

What is the answer to love?
