And then you woke up And ran into a brighter morning You were so young then With no one in control Your stories were for boys And you were falling down 'til Julie said I'm lifting up your heart Lifting up the bricks you threw back then And of course the winter came It was October through December Surrender now my love, it's Time to fall in love, it's Time to be what we should be In 1985 I saw something so beautiful that I Was crying like the rain For you were unafraid The satellite it came Into the heart of London town and you just knew To take a leap of faith We'll never be the same Don't forget this evening Let go of your heart Surrender now my love, it's Time to fall in love, it's Time to be what we should be Surrender now my dream is That we would say what this is It's time to be what we both need Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Surrender now my love, it's Time to fall in love, it's Time to be what we should be Time to let go Time to let go Surrender now my love, it's Time to fall in love, it's Time to be what we should be Oh oh oh oh oh oh - surrender now my dream is Oh oh oh oh - that we would say what this is Oh oh oh oh oh oh - it's time to be what we both need Oh oh oh oh
