Champagne Melody
Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the keys to my heaven
I've got my ticket to ride
And no-one had to hang on a tree
And nobody had to hide
I've never known such a problem
I've never known such a pain
One thing's for sure
If you lean against me
It could all happen over again

All that I have is all I need
All that I have is more than you see
Light of the stars above
Shine ever on me
Make sure whoever's out there
Plays me a champagne melody
Plays me a champagne melody

I'm an all night worker
That's why there's a shadow over me
Because I don't believe in so many things
They say I'll never walk on the sea
There's someone knocking on my door
There's someone trying to get in
There's someone trying to ruin my life
When he knows, no promise is a sure thing

All that I have is all I need
All that I have is more than you see
Light of the stars above
Shine ever on me
Make sure whoever's out there




Plays me a champagne melody
Plays me a champagne melody.
