Europe

Songwriter: Joey Tempest Nick Graham

I never dreamed that I could fall
But something's come over me
Now I'm sittin' starin' at the wall
Afraid for my sanity

The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
It's hauntin' me
I'm still tryin' to come to my senses
But I can't look back
So I'm takin' my chances

I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you

Wonderin' why I'm runnin' scared
From what I believe in
I know that love is just another word
To say what I'm feelin'

For once in my life the future is mine
It's callin' me
I've been searchin' so long
For an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm takin' my chances

I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
