Don't You Worry Child, by Swedish House Mafia

ESO 2 Students,

Your Music teacher, MJ Barbosa, is aware that you are practising the past simple and past continuous tenses and the forms there was and there were, and that is why she has suggested that we post this song by the Swedish electronic dance music trio Swedish House Mafia.

First we'll offer you the official live video-clip and after the lyrics section you can enjoy a nice accoustic cover by Madilyn Bailey

Thanks a lot, María, for this helpful tip!

There was a time

I used to look into my father's eyes.

In a happy home

I was a king, I had a golden throne.

Those days are gone,

Now the memory's on the wall.

I hear the songs

From the places where I was born.

Upon the hill across the blue lake,

That's where I had my first heartbreak.

I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

There was a time

I met a girl of a different kind.

We ruled the world,

I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.

We were so young, I think of her now and then.

I still hear the songs reminding me of a friend.

Upon the hill across the blue lake,

That's where I had my first heartbreak.

I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

See heaven's got a plan for you

[Live version repetitions:]

See heaven's got a plan for you

See heaven's got a plan for you

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! [3x]

Yeah!
