Johnny Logan, den store nallebjörnen, har gått och blivit ...
en gråhårig äldre man som har fyllt 54 år i år.
Men vilken röst han har!!
Kommer så väl ihåg när han vann Melodifestivalen första gången.
På den tiden var Melodifestivalen årets händelse.
Då samlade man ihop vännerna och det var räkor och vin
eller ostbricka som gällde och så skulle man ju rösta.
Alla i sällskapet skulle välja ut en vinnare, sen fick man se
om någon hade lyckats pricka in Europavinnaren.
Jag kommer ihåg vännernas reaktion när jag redan efter
bara några takter sa: Oh, HAN måste vinna! Dom buade
ut mej bokstavligt talat.
Det var en mesig låt och inget ös alls i den! Hur kunde jag
tycka att "What´s another Year" skulle vinna?
Året var 1980 och jag lovar att jag strålade resten av den
kvällen när "han den mesige" stod som vinnare!
Men 1987 kom DEN låten! "Hold me now". Oh, vilken
underbar text! Den går rakt in i hjärtat på en.
Jag erkänner att det var lite tufft när han mot slutet tog
den låten. Där satt man i sin stol och kände hur tårarna
sakta men säkert trycktes upp i ögonen och sen blev det
ett häftigh blinkande för att, diskret, försöka förhindra
att de rann över.
Texten går rakt in i hjärtat på en. Rena fullträffen.
Mmmmmmm .....
"Don't, don't' close your heart to how you feel.
Dream, and don't be afraid the dream's not real.
Close your eyes, pretend it's just the two of us again.
Make believe this moment's here to stay.
Touch, touch me the way you used to do.
I know, tonight could be all I'll have with you.
From now on you'll be with someone else instead of me.
So tonight let's build this memory.
For the last time.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and I.
Will know though we're apart.
We'll always be together.
For ever in love.
What do you say when words are not enough.
Time, time will be kind once we're apart.
And your tears, tears will have no place in your heart.
I wish I, I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone.
How my love for you will go on and on.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and try to understand that.
I hope at last you've found what you've been searching for.
And though I won't be there anymore.
I will always love you.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and I.
Will know though we're apart.
We'll always be together.
For ever in love.
What do you say when words are not enough.
What can I say now my words are not enough."
Dream, and don't be afraid the dream's not real.
Close your eyes, pretend it's just the two of us again.
Make believe this moment's here to stay.
Touch, touch me the way you used to do.
I know, tonight could be all I'll have with you.
From now on you'll be with someone else instead of me.
So tonight let's build this memory.
For the last time.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and I.
Will know though we're apart.
We'll always be together.
For ever in love.
What do you say when words are not enough.
Time, time will be kind once we're apart.
And your tears, tears will have no place in your heart.
I wish I, I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone.
How my love for you will go on and on.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and try to understand that.
I hope at last you've found what you've been searching for.
And though I won't be there anymore.
I will always love you.
Hold me now, don't cry.
Don't say a word.
Just hold me now and I.
Will know though we're apart.
We'll always be together.
For ever in love.
What do you say when words are not enough.
What can I say now my words are not enough."
