Originally the Scott English song “Brandy”, Westlife’s version topped singles charts in the UK, Czech Republic, Ireland and Poland in 2003. It was also their final chart-topping hit as a five-piece, with Brian McFadden leaving a few months later.
[Verse 1]
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
[Chorus]
Oh Mandy
When you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
[Verse 2]
I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world
Of uphill climbing
Tears are on my mind
Nothing is rhyming
[Chorus]
Oh Mandy
When you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
[Bridge]
Yesterdays a dream
I faced the morning
Cryin' on the breeze
The pain is calling
[Chorus]
Oh Mandy
When you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
[Chorus 2]
When you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
When you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
[Outro]
Oh Mandy, won't you listen to what I've got to say?
Oh Mandy, don't you let me throw it all away
Oh Mandy, won't you listen to what I've got to say?
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
