Barbados Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Allt som jag ser, är allt jag vill ha.
Jag tar det du ger, din blick gör mig svag.
Ja allt som jag ser, så nära med dig.
Är läppar som ber, kom älska med mig.

Redan när jag öppna' ögonen, och såg en gryning som vaknar.
Visste att den låg där framför mig,
just denna dag som jag väntade på.

Ville fånga den känsla som brann,
i mitt hjärta såg jag ögonblick vi gav varann.
Tillsammans fångar känslan i mig, nu när jag ser på dig.
Här vill jag stanna för...

Allt som jag ser, är allt jag vill ha.
Jag tar det du ger, din blick gör mig svag.
Ja allt som jag ser, så nära med dig.
Är läppar som ber, kom älska med mig.

Du kan ge mig kraft att våga gå, på alla okända vägar.
Allt jag önskar det kan jag få, varje gång som du finns här hos mig.

Visa allt som du drömt om oss två,
bara viska alla sanningar du sparat på.
Och säg mig känner du liksom jag, kom och ge, kom och ta.
Här vill jag stanna för...

Allt som jag ser, är allt jag vill ha.
Jag tar det du ger, din blick gör mig svag.
Ja allt som jag ser, så nära med dig.
Är läppar som ber, kom älska med mig.

Kom lite närmre, vill säga dig, nu vet jag svaret, jag bär inom mig.

För allt som jag ser, är allt jag vill ha.
Jag tar det du ger, din blick gör mig svag.
Ja allt som jag ser, så nära med dig.
Är läppar som ber, kom älska med mig.

För allt som jag ser, jag tar det du ger.
Ja allt som jag ser, så nära med dig.
Är läppar som ber, kom älska med mig.
