Sweet Surrender

by Harry Nilsson

Sweet surrender

On the wings of a dove, you came to me, in

Sweet surrender

Now i'm lost, and love is the cost, of

Sweet surrender

Sweeter than a victory, warmer than a memory

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea yea

Sweet forgiveness

Sweeter than a melon tree, softer than a willow'd be

Sweet, sweet forgiveness

You came to me, than you set me free, with

True emotion

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea, yea

At first I thought it was you, just euphemy

Then i realized how wrong i could be

First i thought it was your apology

Then i realized how wrong pride could be

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea, yea

Sweet surrender

On the wings of a dove, you came to me, in

Sweet surrender

Now i'm lost, and love is the cost, of

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea yea

At first I thought it was you, just euphemy

Then i realized how wrong i could be

First i thought it was your apology

Then i realized how wrong pride could be

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea, yea

Sweet forgiveness

Sweeter than a melon tree, softer than a willow'd be

Sweet, sweet forgiveness

You came to me, than you set me free, with

True emotion

Sweeter than a victory, warmer than a memory

Sweet surrender

Warm and tender

It's the big up-ender

Yea, yea, yea

Sweet surrender

On the wings of a dove, you came to me, in

Sweet surrender
