Hagar, Sammy - Swept Away Lyrics






Soft wind blowing her hair into my face
Eyes still showing

Look at shadows dancing on the beach
Still horizons all within our reach
Sun still glowing underneath the sea
Love just growing

One night and I'm hooked over you
One kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love, she had to be so far away
First time I've been swept away

Spanish islands dot the better dream
Turquoise waters throw me back again
When I'm dreaming something takes me there
She's there waiting

One night, yeah, and I'm hooked over you
Just one kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love and she just had to be so far away
Oh, first time I've been swept away

I've been swept away
I've been swept away
I've been swept away

Love worth keeping, takes you by surprise
Untold promises cost the same
I know better, still I pay the price
She's there waiting

One night, oh yeah, and I'm hooked on you
Just one kiss and there's nothing I can do
First love, she had to be so far away
Just one time, I've been swept away, yeah

Oh, yeah
I've been swept away, yeah
I've been swept away, yeah

    Great song by Sammy. Don’t recall ever hearing it on the radio but I sure cranked it up on my car stereo back in the day when all we had was cassette tapes. Just now I felt like listening to this song so looked it up on you tube from my iPhone an I still haven’t gotten out of bed yet. To be seventeen again...

    Soft wind blowing 
    Her hair into my face 
    Eyes still showing 
    Look at shadows 
    Dancing on the beach 
    Still horizons 
    All within our reach 
    Sun still glowing 
    Underneath the sea 
    Love just growing 
    One night, and I'm hooked on you 
    One kiss, and there's nothing I can do 
    First love, she had to be so far away 
    First time, I've been swept away 
    Spanish islands 
    Dot the better dreams 
    Turquoise waters 
    Throw me back again 
    When I'm dreaming 
    Something takes me there. 
    She's there waiting. 
    One night, yea, and I'm hooked on you 
    Just one kiss, and there's nothing I can do 
    First love, and she just had to be so far away 
    Oh first time, I've been swept away 
    I've been swept away. 
    I've been swept away. 
    I've been swept away. 
    Love worth keeping 
    Takes you by surprise 
    Untold promises 
    Cost the same 
    I know better 
    Still, I pay the price 
    She's there waiting. 
    One night, oh yea, and I'm hooked on you
    Just one kiss, and there's nothing I can do 
    First love, she had to be so far away 
    Just one time, I've been swept away, yea. 
    Oh, yea! 
    I've been swept away, yea. 
    I've been swept away, yea.

  20. S.... P....

    I hooked on this track the first time I played the album, and remixed on cassette for cruising....saw him live with Dokken in 84-5 ish, packed like sardines in third row,,,couldn't hear for two days . One of the first concert I saw with the high-energy swinging off the rough blow your eardrums out just wild some of the bands before that they all just kind of sat around and played he kept drinking out of a Jack Daniels bottle awesome concert but general mission really did suck especially if you were short

    S.... P....

    Boston !! Orpheum Theatre 1985

  21. 5.... m....

    ITS A BIRD... ITS A PLANE ... ITS THE RED ROCKER WITH A FRO

  22. L.... B....

    This is a great song. Plain and simple...

  23. P.... M....

    Worst album cover in the history of the universe but this song is filled with grooviness.

    P.... M....

    LoL. Very 80s.

  24. H.... M....

    AWESOMENESS!!!!

  25. C.... C....

    Standing Hampton will always be my favorite Sammy album, but VOA had it moments for sure, case in point: this song! I work in Mill Valley where Sammy lives most of the time, run into him at the market occasionally. Such a nice dude! His restaurant in Mill Valley, El Paseo, is also a pretty special place
