Gunder Hägg: "Låt mig få leva"

text och musik Torkel Rasmusson

I've got sugar in my coffee every morning / oh how sweet
I use sugar in my tea at night / at night
I want a lot of sugar in all my spoons
But I don't want any salt in all my wounds
I just want sugar tonight / that's right

Låt mig få leva, jag vill inte dö
Låt mig få leva, jag vill inte dö
Låt mig få leva, jag vill inte dö
Låt mig få leva, jag vill inte dö

All the roses in the garden are red / oh how they smell
And the grass in the backyard is green / is green
I want al lot of flowers everywhere I go
But I don't want those evil ones that hur me so

Låt mig få leva...

In the daytime the sun is shining / oh how bright
And the moon is up all night / at night
I want a lot of sunshine, you don't have to ask me twice
But I don't want those spotlights right in my eyes
I just want the sun in the night / that's right

Låt mig få leva...
