Sandra
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She circled me like the smoke from a fire
When I looked in her eyes, the flames leaped up higher
The light in her eyes was like the sun on the ocean
And her waves reached my shores
In a calm rolling motion
Oh, SANDRA, oh SANDRA
Maria Alejandra
You came to me in my darkest hour
And in my eyes, you were the most beautiful flower
SANDRA, oh SANDRA
Maria Alejandra
You will always have my affection
Thank you for blossoming in my direction
She helped me see when my sight had grown dim
And when I was drownin' she helped me to swim
The way that she loved was a breeze in a garden
Here was a heart, I thought no one could harden
SANDRA, oh SANDRA
Maria Alejandra
You came to me in my darkest hour
And in my eyes, you were the most beautiful flower
SANDRA, oh SANDRA
Maria Alejandra
You will always have my affection
Thank you for blossoming in my direction
The call came to me
At one in the morning
In the Southeast of Spain
The sun was just dawning
From the sound of her voice
I could tell she was mourning
About how the Good Lord
Took her Mama without warning
SANDRA, oh SANDRA
Maria Alejandra
You called to me in your darkest hour
And for you I felt all of the love in my power
I thought that we would face it together
In my dreams I just never expected bad weather
I rushed to your side, saw your soul slowly dyin'
I did all that I could and still kept on tryin'
Oh, Sandra, oh, Sandra
Maria Alejandra
You came to me in your darkest hour




But in the end, I could only watch
As you fell from the tower
