She began her singing career at the age of eight on Australian radio, and during this time she entered and won several talent quests. By the age of 15 she had her first hit record in Australia, with the song "You Made Me What I Am", and she won a "Best Female Vocalist" award. She quickly became a well known celebrity on Australian television, but she felt her career was limited if she remained in Australia. She travelled to the United Kingdom and performed with such groups as Herman's Hermits, The Hollies and the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees wrote "The Love Of A Woman" for her, and her recording became a hit in some European countries.
By the mid 1970s she had changed her name to Samantha Sang, and had moved to the United States where she renewed her acquaintance with the Bee Gees. The Gibb brothers wrote another song for her, which coincided with their huge level of popularity, and the single "Emotion" (with back-up vocals by the Bee Gees) became a major hit worldwide. It reached number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1978, and earned Sang a platinum record.
Determined to succeed on her own merits, she would not record another Gibb song to capitalise on her success, and chose a disco song, "You Keep Me Dancing" as her next single release. The song did not become a hit, stalling at number 57 in the U.S., and her career faltered.
In 2004, and residing again in Melbourne, Sang announced that she would return to live performing, and that her three albums would be released for the first time on CD.
I Can Still Remember
Samantha Sang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come here to me to show you how I feel inside me
There is a song (there is a song) and I know you can play it
We get along (we get along) it's getting better everyday
It′s so crazy to be in love these days
Now that everybody is playing the game
And I'm maybe a fool to fall in love but I do it all over again
So, baby, don't ever go(don′t ever go)
I can still remember the love in your eyes
Yes, I can still remember
You know I wasn′t surprised
And I can still remember the day that we met
And I can still remember
(Ah, Ah!)How could I ever forget?
Turn down the lights(turn down the lights) and move a little closer
This is the time(this is the time) to whisper words of love
So, won't you kiss me again?(kiss me again)
And put your arms around me
Together again(together again) and I hope it never ends
And I′ll never get tired of loving you
'Cause you′re everything that I'll ever need
And you know that I still believe in you
And there′ll never be a reason to leave
So, baby, don't ever go(don't ever go)
I want you to know that
I can still remember the love in your eyes
Yes, I can still remember
You know I wasn′t surprised
And I can still remember the day that we met
And I can still remember
(Ah, Ah!)How could I ever forget?
SOLO (Now and ever)
Ohhhhhhh!
And I′ll never get tired of loving you
'Cause you′re everything that I'll ever need
And you know that I still believe in you

And, baby, don't ever go(don′t ever go)
I want you to know that
I can still remember the love in your eyes
Yes, I can still remember
You know I wasn't surprised
And I can still remember the day that we met
And I can still remember
(Ah, Ah!)How could I ever forget?
(Still remember)Uh! (the love in your eyes)
(Still remember)Oh! You know I wasn't surprised
(And I can still remember)
