Dina Carroll

Geraldine Carroll (born 21 August 1968, Newmarket, England), known as Dina Carroll, is a British singer of Scottish and African American heritage who had a string of hits during the 1990s as well as two platinum albums.

Early career

Carroll started singing at age of five, primarily at home with her sister. Despite the lack of formal vocal coaching, in 1981, at the age of thirteen, she won a local talent competition, with her rendition of Barbra Streisand's "Woman in Love". After leaving school, she worked in various jobs, including a one-day stint as a chambermaid in a Cambridge hotel in 1985.

At the age of sixteen, she was signed to the dance music record label Streetwave, located in London. Carroll moved to West London and recorded two singles, "Set It Off" and "One Nation", in the mid 1980s, credited to a non-existent group, Masquerade. After six unproductive months, she left Streetwave.

In 1989, Carroll secured a recording contract with Jive/Zomba and released a number of singles in 1989 and 1990. Of particular note was her cover of Dionne Warwick's classic "Walk On By", co-produced by The Pasadenas who also provided vocal arrangement and backing vocals. Although "Walk On By" did not make it to the UK Top 40 (peaking at number 95), it was a minor hit in continental Europe. Other solo hits during that era included "People All Around the World" and "Me Sienta Sola (We Are One)", the latter being an underground club hit in the New York scene. Carroll also provided vocals to Brothers in Rhythm's single "Peace and Harmony" in 1991.

This Time

by: Dina Carroll

Lonely, you on my mind
How could I let you go
All that we've been through
I still need you next to me
I said so many things
I did not mean to say
And although we tried to talk
The words, they got in the way
Now that I realise
I need you with me
I've got to find a way to make you see
This time, it could be forever
This time, it could be so complete
It's time for us to be together
Now I know what you mean to me
Now that I understand
Through all this loneliness
I need no other man
So here I am, I'm still needing you
As you were leaving
I knew I was to blame
But I'm not gonna beg you
To come back and stay
So make up your mind now
'Cos it's all up to you
Yes, we owe it to ourselves to see this through
This time, it could be forever
This time, it could be so complete
It's time for us to be together
Now I know what you mean to me
No one could hold me
No one could have told me
That I would be feeling this way
The day's getting longer
The feeling is stronger
Put an end to this pain right away
This time, it could be forever
This time, it could be so complete
It's time for us to be together
Now I know what you mean to me
Oh what I fool I must have been
To lose the love that you were giving me
This time, it could be forever
This time, it could be so complete
It's time for us to be together
Now I know what you mean to me
I'm still wanting you, needing you
Missing you, feeling you in my dreams
Are you still wanting me, needing me
Missing me, feeling me in your dreams
'Cos the day you come back to me
That's how it's gonna be, just you and me
Just you and me
This time, it's gonna be, it's gonna be you and me
This time, I want it to be so complete
This time, this time it has to be together
