★ CAN'T STAY MAD ★

CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

MAKE ME A PROMISE STAYS UNBROKEN
LITTLE WHITE LIES REMAIN UNSPOKEN
HEARD IT SAID THEN COME TO FIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS REALLY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

SHOW ME A DREAM I CAN CLING TO
FAIRY TALES THEY DON'T RING TRUE
MAYBE I READ THEN COMES TO MIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS TRULY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD

NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD YEAH YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH
'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

Can't Stay Mad

Leave It All Behind

Words & music by Anders Jensen

Its never easy to put words to what I think
My mind and mouth just seem completely out of sync
What can I say about the sun that hits your face
As you look out the window, sipping tea with grace

No-one prepared me for the impact you would make
As we teamed up, and made a life that’s purely great
I never say much, words don’t come so easily
And so I doubt that you know what you mean to me

Now I try, to write it all down, so
If I die, I’d like for you to know

If I could write a song where people sing along
I’d write some pretty words and not make it too long
If I could say the right things, maybe change your mind
I’d take you with me and we’d leave it all behind

I hear the key turn in the door as you come home
And I feel thankful for a life not all alone
At all times you are the anchor of my life
You help me help myself and keep me out of strife

So I try, to write it all down, 'coz
If I die, I’d like for you to know

If I could write a song where people sing along
I’d write some pretty words and not make it too long
If I could say the right things, maybe change your mind
I’d take you with me and we’d leave it all behind

Everyday life pass by so fast
Never sure what comes next
We must be glad of the little things, babe
So come with me now, and let’s run away

If I could write a song where people sing along
I’d write some pretty words and not make it too long
If I could say the right things, maybe change your mind
I’d take you with me and we’d leave it all behind
If I could write a song where people sing along
I’d write some pretty words and not make it too long
If I could say the right things, maybe change your mind
I’d take you with me and we’d leave it all behind
