ALL AND NOTHING. lyrics

Everything I have in life
My hidden tenderness, my illusion of living

everything, I would give it to you happily
Because your thoughts will not depart from me

But since you didn't love me
And what I have offered you
You can't care

The hope that I long for dies
Well having it all
I can give you nothing.

🇸🇪 Slow Goodbye
( långsamt farväl )
Singer: Lisa Nlsson | Lyrics: Mauro Scocco


[Verse 1]
I wish I could say it's a phase we're going through
A storm we have to ride out
And I wish I could say that we'll make it together
That everything will work out in the end
But how do you tell someone that this is the end of the road?
And how do you tell someone that your heart is longing to leave?

[Chorus]
I can't lie to you, you know me too well
If you look me in the eye they say
That we can only be who we are
So don't give me any reasons, because whatever we call it
It's just a slow goodbye

[Verse 2]
Here is your queen without a crown
Indifferent and tired
A sad figure, whom you never really met
And when I look over my shoulder at the years that went by
I see all that was lost but also all that we gained.
And what do you say to someone who wants to start again?
When it's already too late, when you're already on your way?

[Chorus]
I can't lie to you, you know me too well
If you look me in the eye they say
That we can only be who we are
So don't give me any reasons, because whatever we call it
It's just a slow goodbye

[Stick]
I wash my hands in the name of love
You can win everything, you sometimes lose
But the road that we're traveling on, it leads
It leads nowhere

[Chorus]
I can't lie to you, you know me too well
If you look me in the eyes (Look me in the eyes)
Because we can only be who we are
So don't give me any reasons, because whatever we call it
It's just a slow goodbye
(Knowing me too well)
 
🇸🇪 Say it again
( Säg det igen )

Singer: Lisa Nlsson | Lyrics: Johan Ekelund, Mauro Scocco

Live in Paris, 2008 (with a cute start when she says the title in french) And the vibrance of her voice when she says in english "Very poetic in your [french] language. And it goes like this...", reminding me of Jennifer Lopez voice when she talks)

Live in Sweden, 2012

Studio release version, 2001


You did it again
Just now
You said that thing you must never say
You said it to me, the unbearable one
Ruthlessly forbidden
You said I love you, I love you
I love you

You put your hand on my back
I turned around and you did
What you can never do
You stroked my forehead with big, warm
Striving, safe hands
And said, "I love you, I love you, I love you".

Say it again, say it again, say it again!
I want to hear, so say it again, say it again
Say it again, say it again

Now I'll never be free again
Now you have me trapped
I can never, ever live without you
You said it to me, what I've wanted all my life.
To hear

You said, I love you, I love you, I love you.
And say it again, say it again, say it again,
I wanna hear it, so say it again, say it again, say it again,
Say it again, say it again
 

INTO MY ARMS SONGTEXT​

I don′t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms


And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that′s true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
 
🇸🇪 Where the ice is at its thinnest
Marie Fredriksson [from Roxette]

People know her from the music group Roxette - but few know her Swedish album from 1992 which at the time of publishing was unusual darkly and melancholic. I liked the whole album "The constant journey" ["Den ständiga resan"] very much, because it had endlessly more depth compared to the songs Roxette was so famous for.


We walk where the ice is the thinnest
I know we're walking on a fire
I know how lonely it can feel I've fallen so many times myself
But I believe in you when you look at me
When you understand that I love you
I believe in you when you look at me
I believe in you

I know I should have said it better Maybe I shouldn't have said it at all
I wish life was easier to live but I can't live like no one at all
But I believe in you when I look at you
When you understand that I love you
I believe you when I look at you Stay with me
Stay with me
When the ice is at its thinnest...
 
Hi there.
While reading the title of thread i remembered that when i was around 16y old i created a tape of love songs, and i think i made a copy to girl i liked ^^
And i tried to figure out one of the song i put there ... and the first that came is Roxette with "It must have been love"
And the funny one is that i thought about this (Roxette) BEFORE your last post @XPan - isn't it fun ?

Here it is :

Bonus one other i liked a lot during the eighties was from "Black", "Wonderful life", which is +/- a romantic song too :

... in fact, there are a lot i like, could list a lot :)
 
🇸🇪 Before Love Came
Eva Dahlgren

Eva Dahlgren is a very special lady, unique in Swede. She has always gone her own way - creating her lyrics and music with her very own style. Some of the lyrics in her songs are amazing... especially in Swedish, because it seems as if she taps into something ethereal deep which is hard to pinpoint (It may not come to the surface in the same way in english).

This song reminds me a lot of a fairy tale story, a true love song.


The sun sets in the sea
To rest for a while
And I fall asleep safe
I know that the earth is round
That everything
As it is now
Tomorrow will
Be
Like the sky and the sea
Always catch the color of each other
That goodness is beautiful and the devil
Is black as lava sand
That the night gives the day
As truth gives lie
That a dream is a dream and nothing more

But it was before love came
Turned earth and sky
Intoxicated my senses
When love came
The will stood diminished and obscured
For no man can
Swear to be free
Let it be done by will
Just pray quietly
As then
Alone as on his knees as in prayer
Let it come to me
But always the same silence in response
That envelops me
No man is so alone
As the one who seeks another

So it was before love came
Came like waves in the stillness
Stone by stone separated
When love came
Shimmering like a dewy meadow
Like a summer rain
Playing free
No will
Can control it

When love came
With a voice I knew
But not heard for a long time
And when I turned around
Behind me was a new world
No man can
Swear to be free
Let it be done by will
Just pray
Let love come
 
🇸🇪 Angel in the room
Eva Dahlgren

One of Sweden's most beloved love songs 💕

Swedish Version

English Version


[Translated from the swedish songtext]

An angel lives in my room
She has her nest above my head
She makes me calm
And she whispers to me
All the things I tell you

There's another one living in my body
She has the most beautiful soul
She is love and hope
And she tells you
How much I love you

There's a spirit living at my feet
Blowing warmth across my skin
It tickles and you saw me smile.
But when she breathes on me
It's for me to come
And warm you

Here I am with all the other things
That makes a man whole
And I hope
I hope you'll be able to cope
And that the angel in the room
It's her
You see
 
Always Forever
Donna Lewis, 1996

It feels like I am digging out my own love-related / romance related songs connected to the falling-in-love episodes with different people though my life *LOL*

Here is a beautiful romantic love song, like riding gently through the clouds... ;-)


Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists with pale amber rose
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you

Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer nights (Summer nights)
Secret moments shared within the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
Say it, say it again
I love you always forever

Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
Say it, say it again
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you

You've got...
The most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got...
Me almost melting away
As we lay there
Under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness
A magical time

Say it, say it again
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you (Say it, say it again)
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
