Guard your dreams at night
Lock your heart up tight
It could happen to you
Don't count stars
Or you may stumble
Someone drops a sigh
And down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring

Run when churchbells ring

It could happen to you
All I did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me

All I ever did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
