Surrender Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When we kiss, my heart's on fire
Burning with a strange desire
And I know, each time I kiss you
That your heart's on fire too

[Verse 2]
So, my darling, please surrender (surrender)
All your love so warm and tender (surrender)
Let me hold you in my arms, dear
While the moon shines bright above

[Verse 3]
All the stars will tell the story
Of our love and all its glory
Let us take this night of magic
And make it a night of love

[Outro]
Won't you please surrender to me (surrender)
Your lips, your arms, your heart, dear (surrender)
Be mine forever
Be mine tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
