Even In The Darkest Hour
(J. J. Johanson)
|
Even in the darkest hour
When the world is fast asleep
I sit by candlelight with memories
When the wind was oh so cold
I used to hold you baby, hold
I'd like to hold you in my arms just like before
Refrain
I thought I could live without you
That it wouldn't be so hard
But now when you going loco
I'm left with my losing card
How I wish the rain could fall like pearly dewdrops from the sky
Similar to the teardrops falling from my eyes
Refrain
Quel Dommage
(J. J. Johanson)
|
Refrain
Quel Dommage
This was supposed to last forever
I used to say it's now or never
Quel Dommage
Quel Dommage
I never meant to cause you sorrow
If it's gone today there's no tomorrow
Quel Dommage
I could be wrong I could be right
Oh baby, don't turn on the lights
You look so gorgeous in the light of the moon
Stay until noon, my love
But in the dark you went away
All I can do now is to pray
It seems that all you ever left in my room
Was me alone again
Refrain
But in the dark you went away
All I can do now is to pray
It seems that all you ever left in my room
Was me alone again
Refrain
Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Paris
(J. J. Johanson)
|
Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris
I searched and I searched again
I turned around to see if you were looking back
I saw your eyes and fell in love
I cought a glance of heaven but was thrown away
So now my quest is search the world for you
Refrain
Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris
I search all over the world for you
Havana, Berlin, Hawaii, Brasil
I search and I search again
My hope was running dry then finally one day
I saw a face I've seen before
You smiled at me but said
I really care, I do
But in love and married to another man
Refrain
I'm so tired of losing
How am I supposed
To know when you're not talking
And feel when you don't show
Refrain
The chain around your neck will strangle you soon
All that you still conceal
The gum that you chew will suffocate you
Secrets you should reveal
I who tried to focus on every need
Turned into an actor
When showing how I feel
Refrain
Such a big mistake
And don't you dare deny
It's hidden and forgotten
You didn't even try
Refrain
She's Mine But I'm Not Hers
(J. J. Johanson)
|
There was a time when I was playing rough
But nowadays I take it sort of cool
Why do I feel this way
I don't wanna be alone
She's mine but I'm not hers
Everytime we meet it's wonderful
And though she only loves me as a friend
I always want to see her
But I hate to say goodbye
She's mine but I'm not hers
Refrain
She's mine, she's mine
She's mine but I'm not hers
Now and then I meet her and her man
I must admit I used to like him too
But see them walk together
It just makes me wanna cry
She's mine but I'm not hers
They always keep their TV on at night
So no one in the house can hear them fight
But I've seen the bruices
And I know about the scars
She's mine but I'm not hers
She's mine, she's mine
She's mine but I'm not hers
Sunshine Of Your Smile
(J. J. Johanson)
|
The sun always shines
Since we got together
There's no cloud in sight
It confiscates the darkness
Sunshine, sunshine
It burns my skin
Reminds me of the blush
The first time we kissed
The sunshine of your smile
The sunshine of your smile
It makes me warm
The same kind of warmth
As your embrace
A ray of bright light
Reflecting like a mirrorball
Leaves sunstains on me
The sunshine of your smile
The sunshine of your smile

A Letter To Lulu-Mae
(J. J. Johanson/Jansson)
|
I decided one day to write you a letter and tell you how much I care
And about how it feels when you walk beside me and the joy of being a pair
I remember the day we got together I remember it like today
I was struck by lightning that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae
You were standing on the porch as I drove up the driveway as lovely as one can be
You would make any man so greatful of living and you choose a man like me
Though I work all day and sometimes all evening I never had no complaints
We've been friends though fighting that's why I'm writing a letter to Lulu-Mae
I decided one day to write you a letter from my tent here in my platoon
You send me a poem
Quite hope I'll see you soon
From your Mr. Lonely
The one and only
A letter to Lulu-Mae
Sudden Death
(J. J. Johanson)
|
Try to see through false-coloured eyes
Promise to act like grown-ups do
Is it in my genes or jeans I do not know
Stuck in a never-ending daydream
A well-hidden secret all those years
It's understood I send my regards to you
Tears of joy to tears of despair
Scratches my back with razor-sharp nails
The queen is gone and there's no time to speak
Still in an ever-lasting nightmare
The song of a ghost is following me
A salted truth out of false belief
It's over, it's over, I will always remember you name
It's over, it's over, and without you it won't be the same
This sudden death is coming
I Guess I'm Just A Fool
(J. J. Johanson)
|
I guess I'm just a fool
Still dreaming of you
But the way the story ended
What else can I do ?
You said I was too good to you
Too good and too sweet
Back then you never turned
Bitter and discreet
Breaking up is always hard
But this one was harder than the rest
But in the end I hope I'll come out well
I guess I'm just a fool
What else can I do ?
Friday At The Rex
(J. J. Johanson)
|
She showed me how to dance on the floor
The moves I could use
Each Friday at the Rex we would meet
Sometimes without words
The doorman said if you had arrived
What colours you wore
I wish we could have stayed all night
And never, never stop
The DJ played the songs we choose
Your moves just hypnotized me
Oh how I wish he plays another song
She always move her feet to the groove
And all the heads turn
So call your friends and bring them along
And get down on the floor
I'm here, I'm there I'm everywhere
When I feel the beat
With you in the round on the floor
And love in your eyes
The DJ played the songs we choose
Your moves just hypnotized me
Oh how I wish he plays another song
I wish we could have danced all night
And never, never stop
The Sly Seducer
(J. J. Johanson/Jansson)
|
The sly seducer came to town
A time when everything was fine
He turned this idyll upside down
Laid sleezy hands upon what's mine
He's dangerous
The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love
The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love
He captures fragile guileless girls
Vampire-teeth in virgin-necks
And paralyses them with words
Touch upon touch 'til it wrecks
He's dangerous
The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love
The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love
As the serpents touch
The sly seducer stole my love
