Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Sweet Surrender

Sweet surrender

On the wings of a dove you came to me in

Sweet surrender

Now I'm lost and 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, it's the big up-ender, yeah yeah yeah.

At first I thought it was you, just euphemy

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, it's the big up-ender, mm yeah yeah.

Sweet surrender

On the wings of a dove you came to me in

Sweet surrender

Now I'm lost and love is the cost of

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender, it's the big up-ender, yeah yeah yeah.

At first I thought it was you, just euphemy

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, it's the big up-ender, mm 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, it's the big up-ender, yeah yeah yeah.

Sweet surrender, yeah

On the wings of a dove you set me free with sweet surrender.
