"Swept Away" lyrics
Swept Away Original Broadway Cast, The Avett Brothers, Adrian Blake Enscoe, John Gallagher Jr., Wayne Duvall & Cameron Johnson Lyrics
(from "Swept Away" soundtrack)
Well, you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
What was her name again?
What? Oh. Melody Anne. My beautiful Melody Anne
Hard not to think of the gals left in port
She was my only. See it's hard where I come from. The land's hard, the people are hard. Sometimes it seemed like Melody Anne was the only soft thing in the county
Life is ever-changing, but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my window
And I'll climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
Well you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day
When you swept me away?
Yeah you swept me away
Enjoy your night, lad
You too, sir
She sounds like a fine girl
Yeah you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
What was her name again?
What? Oh. Melody Anne. My beautiful Melody Anne
Hard not to think of the gals left in port
She was my only. See it's hard where I come from. The land's hard, the people are hard. Sometimes it seemed like Melody Anne was the only soft thing in the county
Life is ever-changing, but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my window
And I'll climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
Well you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day
When you swept me away?
Yeah you swept me away
Enjoy your night, lad
You too, sir
She sounds like a fine girl
Yeah you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
