Snowdrops and daffodils
Butterflies and bees
Sailboats and fishermen
Things of the sea
Wishing wells and wedding bells
Early morning dew
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you

Seagulls and aeroplanes
Things of the sky
Winds that go howling
Breezes that sigh
City sight, neon lights
Grey skies or blue
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you

Summer time, winter time
Spring and autumn too
Monday, Tuesday, everyday
I think of you

Dances, romances
Things of the night
Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write

Parting trees, autumn leaves
Snowflake or two
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you

Summer time, winter time
Spring and autumn too
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you

Dances, romances
Things of the night

Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write
Parting trees, autumn leaves
A snowflake or two

All kinds of everything
Remind me of you

All kinds of everything
Remind me of you

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
