LYRICS
I never had anything happen so fast
Took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show 'cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you
I was swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more
Than to love you
I am swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
I was swept away
Ooh, I hope I wake up soon
Ooh, I'm a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me has changed forever
Can't you see I am swept away?
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away (swept away)
Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away (swept away)
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
Dreaming of you
Swept away

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER CROSS
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1979 self-titled debut album produced by Michael Omartian. The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.

Possibly the most romantic song of all time.

I actually became a Christopher Cross fan because of this song when it was played on that episode of Growing pains where the Seavers spend their vacation in Hawaii. Also, I don't mean to brag or anything but I am a Growing pains fanatic. I have been a fan of that late 80's/early 90's sitcoms since I was in the 2nd grade.

My fiance and I saw him Reno this last August and we are so thankful he performed Swept Away. After years of not performing it live, it was a very pleasant surprise. It is my favorite Christopher Cross song and I will forever remember being swept away ❤

[mmut]

Had to look this up after watching Growing Pains (Maui episodes). It was stuck in my head and I don't think I'd ever heard it even though I am old enough to have 😉

[daisynewsample]

How wonderful would it be if I could learn how to compose from you!

[JeffAdventusVlog]

80s and 90s Music are really something, like you are listening to a love story and you imagining every scenes in your head.

[ferdinandpangan]

Will have this song playing in my head as I observe and muse on a sunset at sea.

I remember years ago, when I was still hoping...driving in a taxi with my love, and I felt a princess, like the most adorable woman in the world.... I'm good with myself now and I don't feel like dating, but sometimes I'm longing for that feeling to love and beeing loved...🥺
