SWEPT AWAY
(Dennis Linde / Billy Swan)


Billy Swan - 1977


I was a man hellbent on dyin'
Lost and givin' up on tryin'
A soul with no wings to go flyin' where everything's bright

I was all fed up with livin'
I didn't know I had a thing worth givin'
But you took me out of that prison and into your life

I was swept away, swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
I am what I am today and I feel good this way
You took me into your life and swept me away

Nothin' could get me higher
I don't see how things could get any brighter
My load keeps gettin' lighter night after night

I haven't felt such love since Mother
It couldn't feel this way with another
It feels good when you and no other, baby, holds me tight

I was swept away, swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
Yes, I am what I am today and I feel good this way
'Cause you took me into your life and swept me away

Swept away on your love, sweepin' high, oh so high
And my oh my it's a long way to where I was before
Where was I before I was swept away, swept away
The day I met up with you and felt your sweet heart
I am what I am today and I feel good this way
You took me into your life and swept me away
You took me into your life and swept me away
You took me into your life and swept me away
