Comments:
Sanne Salomonsen is a recording artist well-known in her native Denmark. 

Originally a member of the "Anne Linnet Band", she left in 1979 to join another Danish group, "Sneakers".

Between 1980 and 1984 "Sneakers" released four critically acclaimed albums. In 1984 Sanne left the group to pursue a solo career.

Since that time Sanne has released a number of successful solo albums. 

She also starred in the musical production "Evita", and she composed the Danish anti-Aids anthem, "Den Jeg Elsker Elsker Jeg" (try saying that three times, quickly).
Lyrics: Well I'll be lyin' awake, baby, late at night
And I'll call you up, but you're not alone
I'd wait for you but it just ain't right
To keep my soul on fire with your heart of stone

And I still see, how it use to be
But somewhere somethin' changed
And I don't know why

All my friends, you know they love to talk
And they've been sayin' that we'll never make it
I just can't help the way I feel inside
Y'know it makes me crazy, but I just can't shake it

It'd be a crime, after all this time
If we had to say goodbye

Before you walk away think it over
Haven't I been good to you
Don't wanna hear you say that it's over
Haven't I been good to you

You could leave, you could let it go
Or we could try and make it one way or another
I'll tell you somethin'
It breaks my heart to know it could've been easy
But it keeps on getting' harder

Now I'm seein' signs in between the lines
Things that I don't wanna know

Before you walk away think it over
Haven't I been good to you
Don't wanna hear you say that it's over
Haven't I been good to you

I could wait for a miracle
But I'd be waitin' for nothin' at all, oh yeah
'Cause I know there's no miracle
I'm just waitin' for the curtain to fall

Now I'm seein' signs in between the lines
Things that I don't wanna know

Before you walk away think it over
Haven't I been good to you
Don't wanna hear you say that it's over now
Oh haven't I been good to you baby

Before you walk away think it over
Haven't I been good to you
Don't wanna hear you say that it's over now
Haven't I been good to you baby

Before you walk away think it over
Haven't I been good to you
Don't wanna hear you say that it's over
Haven't I been good to you
