Songtexte Sweet Surrender - Harry Nilsson

Sweet surrender
On the wings of a dove you came to me in
Sweet surrender
Now, I'm lost, love is the cost of
Sweet surrender
Sweeter than a victory, warmer than a memory
Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, it's the big up-ender, mm-mm-mm

Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than a melon tree, softer than a willow'd be
Sweet, sweet forgiveness
You came to me, then you set me free with
True emotion
Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, is a big up-ender, yeah-yeah-yeah

At first I thought it was you, just euphem'
Then I realized how wrong I could be
First, I thought it was your apology
Then I realized how wrong pride could be

Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, is a big up-ender, muh-yeah-yeah
Sweet surrender
On the wings of a dove you came to me in
Sweet surrender
Now, I'm lost, love is the cost of
Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, is a big up-ender, yeah-yeah-yeah

At first I thought it was you, just euphem'
Then I realized how wrong I could be
First, I thought it was your apology
Then I realized how wrong pride could be
Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, is a big up-ender, muh-yeah-yeah

Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than a melody, softer than a willow tree
Sweet, sweet forgiveness
You came to me, then you set me free with
True emotion
Sweeter than a victory, warmer than a memory
Sweet surrender
Warm and tender, is a big up-ender, yeah-yeah-yeah

Sweet surrender, yeah
On the wings of a dove you set me free with
Sweet surrender
Now, I'm lost, love is the cost of a
Sweet surrender
