One, two, three, four
When you came in my life you changed my world
My Sarah
Everything seemed so right my baby girl
My Sarah
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll give
My Sarah
When you begin to smile you change my style
My Sarah
When I look in your eyes I see my prize
My Sarah
You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll give
You are all I want to know
Oh my Sarah
Don't let go oh no
My Sarah
You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll always give
You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I want to know
My Sarah
Yes you changed my style with your baby smile
Sarah
Childlike charms keep me warm hold you in my arms
Sarah
Changed my world my baby girl
Sarah
All I want to know don't let go
No,no,no,no,no
Sarah
Sarah
Be mine
The Thin Lizzy song Sarah is a tribute to a girl named Sarah who has brought a significant impact on the singer's life. The singer in the song talks about how Sarah changed his world the moment she appeared in his life, and everything seemed to fall into place. He confesses that Sarah is all he wants to know and needs to live. Sarah seems to be the center of his world, and he will do anything to hold onto her.
The chorus is repetitively sung throughout the verses, "You are all I want to know. You hold my heart so don't let go. You are all I need to live. My love to you, I'll give." These lines indicate that the singer is deeply in love with Sarah and needs her to keep his world in order.
The second verse of the song suggests that when Sarah smiles, she changes his style, which is why he loves her so much. He finds his prize in her eyes, which seem to captivate him. The repetition of the chorus once again reinforces the fact that he cannot live without Sarah.
The song Sarah is an ode to love and dedication towards a person that has brought love and joy to someone's life. The simplicity of the lyrics and the melody makes the song very intimate and heartfelt.

This is not only one of my favourite rock ballads, but has to be one of the best ever written and performed by the magical musicians that were Thin Lizzy.
@MrStevenToast
My wife had a baby girl last week, we named her Sarah because of this song....
I've always loved it....I am humming the tune to her when I cuddle her!!!❤
@donnellybags
Never let those moments slip away. I used to play guitar or ukulele and sing to my kids when they were tiny. Now they are too big and just find my music and singing boring. But those little moments when they are tiny are so special.
@garyolshan4177
The great Phil Lynott had a real sensitive side. and what a songwriter. And that voice was so souful, not to mention is fluid, melodic bass lines. one of the greatest. He is so missed.
@donnellybags
As an Irish man and a bass player he has been one of the greatest influences in my life. This song reminds me of my 2 daughters always and whenever I feel down it puts a smile on my face.
@whouster
Many songs artists write about their own kids can make you want to throw-up, but this is one of the best ever. Beautiful.
@mrmojorisin6496
All of my Love (Led Zeppelin) another beautiful example ❤
@saraheve7114
My mum sang this to me as a child. Always tears me up.
