Sweet Pretender Lyrics - The Magician's Birthday Party - Uriah Heep

I didn't see you standing there 

You took me by surprise 

In your long silk dress 

And those deep brown eyes 

I was captured by your smile 

But when fate put out it's hand 

You're walking to your love 

How was I to resist 

The passion and the kiss 

We raised the future alone 

She stole my body and soul 

With a heart next to mine 

I didn't wanna face the day 

But I have no choice when we kiss 

She said 

Goodnight my sweet pretender 

Tonight we live forever 

One heart, one soul 

On the edge of the world 

Goodnight my sweet pretender 

Feels like we died together 

In each others arms 

On the edge of the world 

When she touched me so warm 

And so was her body 

A kiss she gave to me 

The name she said to pain and pleasure 

Time my soul rescue me 

But I know I'd be here on my own 

As soon as the sun would rise 

I didn't wanna face the day 

But I have no choice when we kiss 

I've dreamed of a place I know 

With the shadows of my past 

Still remain 

You're buried in the midst of time 

For always you'll be the sun that shines 

Shines on me 

Goodnight, goodnight 

My sweet pretender ...
