Uriah Heep

Sweet Pretender

Uriah Heep


I didn't see you standing there 
You took me by surprise 
In your long silk dress 
And those deep brown eyes 
I was captured by your smile 
But when fate put out its hand 
You're walking to your love 
How was I to resist 
The passion and the kiss 
We raised the future alone 

She stole my body and soul 
With a heart next to mine 
I didn't wanna face the day 
But I have no choice when we kiss 

She said 
Goodnight my sweet pretender 
Tonight we live forever 
One heart, one soul 
On the edge of the world 
Goodnight my sweet pretender 
Feels like we died together 
In each others arms 
On the edge of the world 

When she touched me so warm 
And so was her body 
A kiss she gave to me 
The name she said to pain and pleasure 
Time my soul rescue me 
But I know I'd be here on my own 
As soon as the sun would rise 
I didn't wanna face the day 
But I have no choice when we kiss 

I've dreamed of a place I know 
With the shadows of my past 
Still remain 
You're buried in the midst of time 
For always you'll be the sun that shines 
Shines on me 

Goodnight, goodnight 
My sweet pretender ...
