Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
[Chorus]
When you swept me away
Yeah, you swept me away
[Verse 2]
What was her name again?
What? Oh, Melody Anne, my beautiful Melody Anne
Hard not to think of the gals left in port
She was my only
See, it's hard where I come from, the land is hard, the people are hard
Sometimes it seemed like Melody Anne was the only soft thing in the county
[Verse 3]
Life is ever-changing, but I will always find a constant
Comfort in your love
With your heart, my soul is bound
And as we dance, I know that heaven can be found
[Chorus]
When you swept me away
Yeah, you swept me away
[Verse 4]
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my window
And I climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
[Verse 5]
Well, you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
[Chorus]
When you swept me away, swept me away, swept me away
Yeah, you swept me away, swept me away
[Outro]
Enjoy your night, lad
You too, sir
She sounds like a fine girl
Yeah, you swept me away
Yeah, you swept me away
