All this time I stayed out of sight 
I started wondering why 
- what a shame - 
As though I had something to fear 
Didn't expect you this year 
- but what a name - 
Now I've seen the roses in bloom 
and I've tasted hours of doom 
Didn't expect you so soon 
and even though I'm the same 
you've joined me in my game 
I hope you'll stand my sketches of pain 

Baby can you hold me a little more 
'Cause I don't want to be swept away 
The need for you is getting stronger every day 
You've got me swept away 

Like a ship that's off course 
I feel kind of lost without you here 
A trip down memory lane 
It's always the same 
Ends with missing you again 
Guess what I'm trying to say 
is that I'd like you to stay another day 

Baby that thing you do 
You do too good 
You've got me swept away 
Not a day goes by 
that I don't try 
But it's no use 
You've got me swept away 
and that's what I'm all about 
I cannot live without you
