Monochrome rainbows disappear, may be the sun isn't here
How could you leave me standing here, waiting so long

I want your love, I need your love, 'cause youre here in my heart

Sarah don't you give up on love, Sarah don't you give up on me
Never surrender, just believe in us, oh Sarah my love

Can't seem to get you off my mind, has it been all wasted time
Was lovin you another crime, that I'm guilty of

I want your love, I need your love, 'cause youre here in my heart

Sarah don't you give up on love, Sarah don't you give up on me
Always remember that I'll be right here on your side

Oh Sarah I need your love, yeah I do, hey!

Don't ever think that you can lose, together we'll win through
Oh Sarah I need your love, yeah I do

Sarah don't you give up on love, don't give up on love
Sarah don't you give up on me
Sarah don't give up on love, don't give up on me
Sarah, Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarah, I love you girl, yes I do
Sarah...

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
