Eurovision 1998 Norway:
Lars A. Fredriksen - "Alltid sommer"
Alltid sommer
Dine øyne leser jeg som en åpen bok
Ved å leve sammen leser vi ord for ord
(Det å være nær)
Det handler om mer enn hva vi to kan se
(For vi har mer)
Det vi har, er så mye mer
Alltid evig sommer, sa du
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
Alltid evig sommer, sa du
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
Evig varme dager, sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa: Det føles ganske bra
Oh… (Alltid sommer, sa du)
Bare jeg kunne si med ord hva du er for meg
Vi lever, leker sammen, mens vi går samme vei
(Det å elske deg)
År for år, og dag for dag
(Sammen med deg)
En glede som vokser med hvert hjerteslag
Alltid evig sommer, sa du
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
Alltid evig sommer, sa du
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
Evig varme dager, sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa: Det føles ganske bra
Oh… alltid sommer, sa du
Min ensomhet forsvant og kjærligheten vant
Så kom og la oss leve, du sa: Alltid evig sommer'
(Alltid evig sommer, sa du)
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
Alltid evig sommer, sa du (Alltid evig sommer)
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
Evig varme dager, sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa: Det føles ganske bra
Oh… alltid sommer, sa du
(Ooh…) Alltid sommer, ѕа du
Always summer
I read your eyes like an open book
Living together we read each other word by word
(To be near you)
It's more than just the two of us can see
(Because we have more)
What we have is so much more
Always eternal summer, you said
And you came, and you saw, and you won my life
Always eternal summer, you said
What the others do now, means nothing
Forever warm days, you said
And reached out your hands and said: It feels quite good
Oh… (Always summer, you said)
If only I could find the words to tell what you mean to me
We live, play together, as we take the same road
(To love you)
Year by year, and day by day
(Together with you)
Our happiness grows with every heartbeat
Always eternal summer, you said
And you came, and you saw, and you won my life
Always eternal summer, you said
What the others do now, means nothing
Forever warm days, you said
And reached out your hands and said: It feels quite good
Oh… always summer, you said
My loneliness vanished, and love won
So come and let us live, you said: Always eternal summer
(Always eternal summer, you said)
And you came, and you saw, and you won my life
Always eternal summer, you said (Always eternal summer)
What the others do now, means nothing
Forever warm days, you said
And reached out your hands and said: It feels quite good
Oh… always summer, you said
(Ooh…) Always summer, you ѕаid
All I Ever Wanted (Was You)
Honey, I can read your mind like an open book
Through our love, the pages turn, take another look
(Baby, can't you see?)
There's gotta be more to us than meets the eye
(I'll tell you why)
Whenever you're near me, I'm in paradise
'Cause all I ever wanted was you
'Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do
I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found our love was worth the wait
Ooh… (All I wanted was you)
If only I could find the words to say it all
Compare it to a summer's day, as I recall
(Filled with fallen leaves)
Stronger as the years go by
(I'll tell you why)
Whenever you're near me, I'm in paradise
'Cause all I ever wanted was you
'Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you (All I ever wanted)
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do
I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found our love was worth the wait
Ooh… all I wanted was you
'Cause you're my guiding light, so lead me through the night
Lead me to forever, because all I ever wanted was
(All I ever wanted was you)
'Cause you came and you saw and you won my love
All I ever wanted was you (All I ever wanted)
And I don't give a damn about anyone
Every little thing that you do
I took my chances 'cause I knew you'd found our love was worth the wait
Ooh… all I wanted was…
(Ooh…) All I wanted wаѕ you
