Sweet lyrics
Album: Level Headed [1978]
| California Nights | |
|
(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)
The New York girls, they've gone down to California
Don't say I didn't warn ya
'Bout spending time in Miami F.L.A.
That ain't no place to be anyway
Ooh, looking for someone in their life
Waiting for love to shine it's light
Chorus
Everybody's dancing, California nights
Summer in the city, California nights
Boogie through to morning, California nights
California never go away, I'm here to stay
Those Vegas chicks have gone and thrown it all away
They're gonna settle down in L.A.
They've heard the stories of Hollywood and stars
Sunset Boulevard and custom cars
>From Roulette to room let, changing signs
Ceasers to Rainbow, life unwinds
Chorus

| Silver Bird | |
|
(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)
I was a young boy
Yeah she was young too
So in love but they don't understand
Games that we played
Blue shadows in a doorway
Stealing time forbidden kisses
I wanted to stay but I had to go away
Chorus
Silverbird come take me home to you
Silverbird come take me home to you
Well it's been five years
Unjustified years
Other girls that just don't make it
Face to face with you
Red sunset through my window
I won't sleep tonight I'm coming home
Please let it be that you're waiting there for me
Chorus

| Dream On | |
|
(Scott)
Your head lies on your pillow
Do you dream of me tonight
I'm waiting for the sunshine
To bring the morning light
To kiss your cheek and wake you
from your sleep would not be right
So gentle like a baby
I'll keep you warm tonight
Let the moonlight cast the shadows
Of our love forever more
Dawn will break and take them away
Like it always has before
But you are here I know it's real
If I reach out my hand and touch you
So I'll leave you softly dreaming
That I'm making love to you
Dream on you little girl
Dream on you little girl
Dream on you little girl
|
| Fountain | |
|
(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)
If I could make a wish
I'd throw a coin in the fountain
But fantasies don't always come true
And if I had no dreams
I'd never climb the mountain
The hand of fate will always be
reaching out for you
Chorus
Like gold your love is the rainbow's end
Flyin' high like a bird in the sky
Your love is the rainbow
Colours of love in the sky
I've been saying all my life
I don't believe in magic
But fountain of faith I'm putting my trust in you
Circles on the water
from the coin that's sinking slowly down
My future's reflecting my destiny's calling out to you
Chorus
Well how much time do you need
The fountain holds the key
To unlock the love deep in your heart
I have kissed the waters lips
and now we're floating free
With no love before this new life can start again
Chorus

| Love Is Like Oxygen | |
|
(Scott/Griffin)
Time on my side
I got it all
I've heard that pride
Always comes before a fall
There's a rumour goin' round the town
That you don't want me around
I can't shake off my city blues
Everyway I turn I lose
Chorus
Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high
Time is no healer
When you're not there
Lonely fever
Sad words in the air
Some things are better left unsaid
I'm gonna spend my days in bed
I'll walk the streets at night
To be hidden by the city lights city lights
|
| Strong Love | |
|
(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)
You are the love of my life
That's what you are to me
You are the love of my life
That's what you mean to me
With my heart going boom boom
Your love is driving me to ruin.
Chorus
Strong love is just too much for my heart
Strong love is just too much for my heart
Oh won't you kiss me again
You sure know what you're doing
Oh won't you kiss me again
Don't you stop what you're doing
There's something I just gotta say
I can't keep it up every day
With my heart going boom boom
Your love is driving me to ruin.
Chorus

| Lettres d'Amour | |
|
(Connolly/Scott/Tucker/Priest)
When you're alone, nobody phones
You've found a safe hideaway
Taking your time dropping a line
Reading the words you just couldn't say
And I'm calling you calling you
I want you here
Chorus
Lettres D'Amour de France
All that I need is love and romance
Lettres D'Amour de France
All that I need is love and romance
My close memories stay to remind me
Take them away leave them behind me
Breathing a sigh the truth in a lie
Closing my eyes help me see clearly
And I'm loving you loving you
I want you here
Chorus
