Abi Ofarim (born Abraham Reichstadt, 5 October 1937, Safed, British Mandate of Palestine) is an Israeli musician and dancer.
At age 12, he attended ballet school, and he made his onstage debut in Haifa at 15. By 17 he was arranging his own choreography, and by 18 had his own dance studio.
After he married Esther Ofarim he achieved some international fame performing with her as a musical duo, playing the guitar and singing backing vocals. In 1966 they had their first hit in Germany with "Noch einen Tanz". Their greatest success in Germany came the next year with "Morning of my Life", written by the Bee Gees. In 1968 "Cinderella Rockefella" hit the top of the charts in a number of countries including the UK. They played many live concerts in New York and London, and in 1969 they toured around the world. The couple divorced in Germany in 1970.
Some time after his divorce, Ofarim developed a drug and alcohol addiction. Nevertheless, he continued performing, releasing a number of albums, and also working as a manager, composer and arranger, through his company PROM.
Tell me everything you need
All the secrets that you keep
Even if it takes all day
Even if it takes all night
I can put the world on hold
So you and I can be alone
Even if it takes all day
Even if it takes all night
I would do anything for you
I always will put you before me
You before me
And everything I'll ask of you
I always will put you before me
You before me
Lay your head down next to mine
By your side I feel alive
Tell me that you'll stay all day
Tell me that you'll stay all night
I would do anything for you
I always will put you before me
You before me
And everything I'll ask of you
I always will put you before me
You before me
Say the word and I'll be there
Say the word and I'll be there
Tell me everything you need
All the secrets we can keep
Even if it takes all day
Even if it takes all night
I would do anything for you
I always will put you before me
You before me
And everything I'll ask of you
I always will put you before me
You before me
