Lover
Birgit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just saw a smile in the crowd and it reminded me of you
In the happy days before this sollitude
Time stood still and I realized that against my will
leaving forced loving into pain

Oh lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Gently heard your voice, felt you close
As if you were standing right beside me
As if I'd never went away
But I'm ready now to face this bitter wrong somehow
And proof what words can not explain

Oh, oh, oh, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again

I thought that I had lost my love
But you're the one I dreaming of
It came to hunt me everyday
And I tried to run away, I tried
to be apart
But I can not escape a loving heart,
a loving heart

I will understand if you can't like before
But please take me in your arms once more

Oh lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Lover, lover, lover, lover, take me in your arms again
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Take me in your arms and hold me like before




Take me in your arms and I'll be yours
Once more
