Jennifer Rush (born Heidi Stern, September 28, 1960) is an American/German-based pop/rock singer, best known for the million-selling single "The Power of Love", which she co-wrote and which went on to be covered by Laura Branigan and Celine Dion.
Born Heidi Stern, in Queens, New York, she spent her childhood in both New York and the State of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It was in Flensburg, Germany, that she first discovered her passion for music. She recorded her first album Heidi Stern in 1979, but it did not get much attention. Trying to establish her career as a singer, in 1982, she moved to Wiesbaden, Hessen, Germany, with her father Maurice Stern, an opera singer. Over the next several years she scored hits around Europe with songs "25 Lovers", "Flames of Paradise", "Ring of Ice", "Destiny", "If You're Ever Gonna Lose My Love", "I Come Undone" and "Madonna's Eyes".
Jennifer's mother Barbara was a pianist, and her brothers are musicians Bobby Stern and Stephen Stern. In 2010, Jennifer revealed that she adopted her artist name "Jennifer" upon the insistence of her record company, CBS, who felt Heidi did not sound 'international' enough.
No illusions of tomorrow
Not that kind of a love
Keep demanding all of my time
Then you push me and shove
Saying love’s illegal, love’s a liar
Stealing hearts from the stars
See no evil, hear no fire
Paralysed by the light
It’s a love of a stranger
That can steal your heart
Beware of the danger
When the passion starts
It’s a love of a stranger
When the darkness calls
Cos a love will hold your heart for ransom here
Til it’s gone and leaves you all alone
Stormy weather at the border
And some burns within
So beware of words of honour
Seems to close to sin
It’s a love of a stranger
That can steal your heart
Beware of the danger
When the passion starts
It’s a love of a stranger
When the darkness calls
Cos a love will hold your heart for ransom here
Til it’s gone and leaves you all alone
It’s a love of a stranger
That can steal your heart
Beware of the danger
When the passion starts
It’s a love of a stranger
When the darkness calls
Beware of the danger
When the passion starts
It’s a love of a stranger
That can steal your heart
Beware of the danger
When the passion starts
It’s a love of a stranger
That can steal your heart
