Jonathan Butler - Sarah, Sarah Lyrics






Saw her across a crowded room
And she looked so good
Memories came rushing into my head, mmm
There was a sparkle in her eyes
Was it for me
Or just my imagination running wild? Oh, yeah...

I see the more things change
The more they stay the same
Thought I was past the pain
But one thought of you (thought of you)
And it's back again

Sarah, Sarah
What happened to you and I? Sarah...
Sarah, Sarah
How did the fire die? Sarah...

This time I said I would be strong
Though emotions rush in
Swore that I wouldn't fall apart, no way

How could we watch our dreams
Crumble into dust? Baby...
There's so much more life has in store (in store)
For the two of us

Sarah, Sarah
What happened to you and I? Sarah...
(Sarah, Sarah)
Oooh, how did the fire die? Sarah...

Yeah, girl...

I must admit, baby
That love never died (love never died)
'Cause deep in my heart, girl
A bit of you still survived

How could we watch our dreams
Crumble into dust, girl (ooh)
There's so much more life has in store (in store)
For the two of us

(Sarah, Sarah)
Oooh, what happened to you and I? (Sarah)
Tell me, tell me... tell me, baby!
Sarah, Sarah
How did the fire die, baby? (Sarah)

Yeah, yeah
I'm crying out for you
Said I love you, baby
I'm strong out on you, baby
Girl, don't walk away
Don't turn away
I need you, honey

    When I saw him in concert i was belting this song out like totally jammin but I dont have a singing voice to say the least. Loud and out of tune! 😂 I had my eyes closed and was feeling it to the point that I didnt realize what was going on around me. When I opened my eyes I realized they had the spotlight on me 😂 apparently my terrible voice stood out. The background singer were still singing but Mr butler had stopped singing. They were all looking at me and laughing! 😂 it was a moment of absolute embarrassment! 😂

    I remember back in the 80s, I was a bellman at the Omni in Detroit, he was in town for a concert and late one night he played this song in our lobby on a piano, he actually was singing, and a security guard told him to stop playing. I went up to him and said sorry, he doesn't know who you are. He said, it's okay he is just doing his job. Man, I still remember him singing, Sarah Sarah, man he was good.
