Sam

Artist: Olivia Newton-John

Album: Magic: The Very Best of Olivia Newton-John

Song Length: 3:43

George's Thoughts: A dated but classic hit that makes a good Waltz piece. Olivia's original chart hit is too fast for competition but several strict-tempo versions are available. It's found on Dancelife's "Best of Waltz Collection," "Bring a Smile to Your Feet," Ross Mitchell's "25 Top Waltzes" and "The World of Standardtanze" among other versions.

Song Lyrics:

I heard that you're on your own now
So am I
I'm living alone now
I was wrong
So were you
What will you do?
Are you glad to be free?
Are you feeling lost just like me?
Longing for company

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

I find the days hard to face now
Empty rooms
There's much too much space now
And the nights go so slow
I'm sure you know
Wish I knew what to do
It would be so nice seeing you
And it might help you too

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

Oh Sam, you know where I am
Oh Sam, ooh Sam
You know, you know
You know where I am
