Please, don't start to cry
We both know we're running from each other
Please, let's not waste time
Because we both learned it from our mothers
That we don't get nothing done
Unless we just do it now
So here it goes, gotta go
I'll be the first to turn around
And carry on

Carry on, you beautiful girl
Carry on, in this beautiful world
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
Remember this and carry on, carry on
Beautiful girl

I think, you can understand
We're just better off on our own
And I, I'm not in God's plan
But you won't always be alone
So goodbyes are always hard
So we better just do it now
No you can't rearrange
Things that life just won't allow
So carry on

Carry on, you beautiful girl
Carry on, in this beautiful world
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
Remember this and carry on, carry on
Beautiful girl

Carry on, you beautiful girl
Carry on, in this beautiful world
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
So carry on...

In this beautiful world, yeah

Remember this and carry on, carry on
Beautiful girl

Please, don't start to cry
We both know we're running from each other
