I´m sitting here, playing guitar.
Thinking of Susannah.
I sing this song for her, though she´s not here.
I´m looking at her silent picture´s
Soft and gentle smiling.
Wondering if she ever felt the pain.
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
I need you more that any one before.
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
Please let me be the keeper of your door.
SOLO
The time with her has gone so fast,
Just like it never happened.
And now the hands of time don´t seem to move.
And in some dark and lonely night
A single star is shining.
Like fire pouring from her deep blue eyes.
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
I need you more that any one before.
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
Please let me be the keeper of your door.
SOLO
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
Ah, ah – my sweet Susannah.
