Music Monday - Heaven by Emeli Sandé

Hi everyone! I am sorry I went M.I.A. (missing in action) this last week. I sure seem to be apologising a lot recently! All sort of dramas unfolding and keeping me otherwise engaged.

However, I come bearing gifts. I am hoping to make up for my disappearing act with this amazing track by Scottish singer and songwriter Emeli Sandé. A big thank you goes to my cousin Babi who introduced me to this single even before it hit MTV.

I love Emeli vocals as well as her beat. I hope you do too.

LYRICS...

HEAVEN
by Emeli Sandé

Will you recognize me in the flashing lights?

I try to keep my heart beat, but I can’t get it right

Will you recognize me, when I’m lying on my back

Something is gone inside me, and I can’t get it back

CHORUS:

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,

But the day it always lasts too long

Then I’m gone!

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,

But the day it always lasts too long

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone , then I'm gone

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone , then I'm gone

Will you recognize me, when I’m stealing from the poor?

You're not gonna like me, 

I’m nothing like before.

Will you recognize me, when I lose another friend?

Will you learn to leave me, or give me one more try again?

CHORUS

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,

Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions,

You say that you’re away, 

I try but always break cause the day always lasts too long

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone , then I'm gone

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone , then I'm gone

Then I’m gone, then I’m gone, then I’m gone , then I'm gone
