Hey. I'm looking for a song. I think the name of it is "Water", but I
can't remember the band. I think they may have been Swedish. Or Swiss.
Or Dutch or Belgian. Anyhoo, I bought it for next to nothing at a
Tower Records in Boston a while ago, say 1995 or so. It was a cd
single, and I believe there was just one other song on the disc.

I do remember some of the lyrics:

(1st verse)
Water is good for your health.
Water is good for your family...

(Chorus)
Water can be found in water falls.
Water can be found in tennis balls.
Water can be found in orchids.
Water can be found in you.
In your lips...


So, it was a pop song by an obscure European band, possibly Swedish.
It was probably recorded in the early to mid-90s.

I'd like to know the name of the band, and where I can find a copy of
the cd the song appeared on.

Thanks!

Greetings!

Fantastic! Thanks very much.

The complete lyrics:

water      
water is good for your health	
water is good for your body 			
and you can drink it with lime and with lemon    		
or drink it pure
water can turn into snow		
water can turn into icecubes		
and in the air that you breath there is water	
that might turn into fog	
water can be found in waterfalls		
water can be found in tennisballs		
water can be found in orchids
water can be found in you
in your lips 
water contains lots of salt
water contains lots of minerals	
and it can be boiling or freezing or sparkling	
or just be floating around
with water you can make tea
and with water you can make coffee
and if you're drinking a bottle of red wine
it's mostly water
water takes you around the world
water even can be heard
water is in every word
water is in lemon curd
and in every bird
water can be found in waterfalls
water can be found in tennisballs
water can be found in orchids
water can be found in you
in your lips
