Song of the week: Touch my life with summer

After this (too) long absence i'm back for a new Eurovision season.

I choose has this week's song the 1975 norwegian representative Touch my life with summer, a melancholic love ballad performed by Ellen Nikolaysen in Stockholm, reaching the 18th position.

Ellen was an experienced singer. In 1973 she represented Norway in the Eurovision as one of the Bendik Singers with the song It's just a game and in 1974 she was the winner of the World Popular Song Festival of Tokyo with the song You made me feel I could fly. She also took part in the 1972, 1973 and 1974 norwegian national final's.

Touch my life (with summer)

You came along and touched my life with summertime
And filled my soul with rays of golden sunshine
You made me feel that somethin' real was waiting to be found
Changing my whole style, teaching me to smile

Every day, every way, let me stay in your summer
Summer, stay with me
Keep me warm, summer wine
Keep me warm, summertime

I feel the warmth of summer deep inside of me
And know the glow of love will show and free me
And when you're gone, I'll carry on with what you left in me
Something that will grow, everyone will know

Every day, every way, let me stay in your summer
Summer, stay with me
Keep me warm, summer wine
Keep me warm, summertime

I hope you'll be returning when next summer comes
Then we'll be three, together in the summer sun
