  • Love me, love me, love me, love me
    Say you do
    Let me fly away
    With you
    For my love is like
    The wind
    And wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    Give me more
    Than one caress
    Satisfy this
    Hungriness
    Let the wind
    Blow through your heart
    For wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    You
    Touch me
    I hear the sound
    Of mandolins
    You
    Kiss me
    With your kiss
    My life begins
    You're spring to me
    All things
    To me

    Don't you know you're
    Life itself

    Like a leaf clings
    To the tree
    Oh my darling,
    Cling to me
    For we're like creatures
    Of the wind
    Wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    You
    Touch me
    I hear the sound
    Of mandolins
    You
    Kiss me
    With your kiss
    My life begins
    You're spring to me
    All things
    To me

    Don't you know you're
    Life itself

    Like a leaf clings
    To the tree
    Oh my darling,
    Cling to me
    For we're like creatures
    In the wind
    And wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

    Wild is the wind
    Wild is the wind

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyHere's some obscure trivia; on March 4th 1962, Connie Stevens performed "Wild Is The Wind" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
    As stated above; it was nominated* for an Academy Award for 'Best Original Song'; the winner was "All the Way" from the film 'The Joker is Wild'...
    * The other nominees were "An Affair to Remember" from 'An Affair to Remember', "April Love" from "April Love", and "Tammy" from 'Tammy and the Bachelor'; and both "April Love" and "Tammy" both reached #1 on Billboard's Top 100 chart.
  • Darren from Albuquerque, NmBowie always covered songs like this to test his voice. That is why he covered "Amsterdam" too
  • Domyo from Bloomington, InAlthough Bowie's performance owes everything to Simone's cover, his brilliantly plotted build-up to the final line is spectacular. His rendition of the last four words is the most powerful performance of his career and, for my money, in all of rock. Absolutely incredible.
