Since I've Been Lovin' You   (Alexander O’Neal) - STING 21712   (Thorsten Geppert)

 

 (Opener): CIRCLE LEFT:

Baby baby I’m a gifted man - with one thing on my mind

ALLEMANDE on the Corner baby - TURN PARTNER RIGHT now

ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner - WEAVE THAT RING

The closer I get to you - the deeper I fall

There ain’t nothing left that I can do

But give you my love and I’m giving it all to you

 

 

 (Figure): The HEADS SQUARE THRU - FOUR HANDS on around and then

DO SA DO your Corner friend - SWING THRU - and the BOY RUN RIGHT

You FERRIS WHEEL and deal you do - PASS THRU - TOUCH A QUARTER

SCOOTBACK right on in and then - SWING your Girl and PROMENADE again

I know - since I’ve been loving you

 

 

 (Middle Break): CIRCLE LEFT:

My friends are talking - they don’t understand

What’s coming over me

ALLEMANDE on the Corner baby - TURN PARTNER RIGHT then

ALLEMANDE LEFT that Corner - WEAVE THAT RING

The closer I get to you - the deeper I fall

Nothing left for me to do

But give you my love - I’m giving it all to you

 

 

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

So when I found someone like you - to love forever

And I’m not going to lose you - ‘cause I know what it’s worth

I’ve found heaven on earth - ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING now

Darling - I’m feeling more than words can say

I never thought I’d feel this way

But I do - since I’ve been loving you

 

 

 (Tag): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE (RHYTHM BREAK)

Baby - I’m feeling more than words can say

I never thought I’d feel this way

But I do - since I’ve been loving you

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

Baby baby I’m a gifted man - with one thing on my mind

Got this crazy world in the palm of my hand - and the sun is shining all the time

The closer I get to you - the deeper I fall

There ain’t nothing left that I can do - but give you my love and I’m giving it all to you

 

Baby I’m feeling more than words can say - I never thought I’d feel this way

But I do - since I’ve been loving you (since I’ve been loving you)

Darling I thank my lucky stars above for sending me this friend to love

 - I know - since I’ve been loving you (since I’ve been loving you)

 

My friends are talking they don’t understand - what’s coming over me

Got my head in the clouds and I’m singing out loud - ‘cause I’m as happy as a man can be

The closer I get to you - the deeper I fall

There ain’t nothing left that I can do - but give you my love and I’m giving it all to you

 

So when I found someone like you - to love forever and I’m not going to lose you

 - ‘cause I know what it’s worth, I’ve found heaven on earth
