OK Go - Here It Goes Again (Original MV)


Lyrics:

It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.
Just when you think you're in control,
just when you think you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve.
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.
Just when you think you're in control,
just when you think you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes.
Oh, here it goes.
Oh, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
Oh oh
Oh, here it goes.
Yeah, oh here it goes again.
Hey hey
Oh, here it goes.
All right!
I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.
Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes, here it goes.
Oh here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
but here it goes again.
Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it goes
I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have known
Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.



"Here It Goes Again" is by OK Go & is the 3rd released single from the album Oh No. This power pop song is also included in the compilation album Now 23. The song remains the band's only single to reach the Billboard Hot 100, where it entered the Top 40 at #38.

ASONE - White Love Story (The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince OST MV)


Lyrics:

I didn’t know at first
why your gaze, looking at me
made me feel so flustered
I always wanted to ask
if you understood just a little of my feelings
although I never told you

Now I know, how you were as lost
and wandering as I was
How you hurt so much, it kept you from sleep
Hold my hand,
I won’t let go of you again
I love you, as long as I breathe…

Things stood still
when you, who’d always treated me coldly,
smiled at me that day

Now I know, how you were as lost
and wandering as I was
How you hurt so much, it kept you from sleep
Hold my hand,
don’t let go of me
I love you, till the day I close my eyes in rest

I won’t cry
Now that you’re by my side
Thank you…
for giving me the gift of you


처음엔 알지 못했어
나를 보는 그대의 그눈빛이
왜 그렇게 안타까웠는지
언제나 묻고 싶던 말
아주 조금 내맘 알고 있는지
한번도 얘기한적 없었지만

이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼
하루하루 헤매였던걸
잠들수 없이 너무 아파 했었다는 걸
손을 잡아요
다시는 그대를 놓치 않을게
사랑해요 내가 숨쉬는 날까지

그대로 멈춰버렸죠
나에겐 늘 모질게만 대하던 그대가
날 보며 웃어주던날

이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼
하루하루 헤매였던걸
잠들수 없이 너무 아파 했었다는 걸
손을 잡아줘
다시는 나를 놓치 말아요
사랑해요 내가 눈감는 날까지

울지 않아요
이제 그대 내곁에 있으니
고마워요 이렇게 모자란 내게
그대를 선물해줘서

Rainie Yang Chen Ling 杨丞琳 - Ai Mei 爱昧 Original MV


Lyrics:

暧昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

只能陪你到这里
毕竟有些事不可以
超过了友情还不到爱情
远方就要下雨的风景

到底该不该哭泣
想太多是我还想你
我很不服气 也开始怀疑
眼前的人是不是同一个真实的你

暧昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进 何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

暧昧让人变得贪心
直到等待失去意义
无奈我和你写不出结局
放遗憾的美丽 停在这里

暧昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进 何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

暧昧让人变得贪心
直到等待失去意义
无奈我和你写不出结局
放遗憾的美丽 停在这里

每一次
都在徘徊孤单中坚强

Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Original MV)


Lyrics:

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

I’d rather be at home with ray
I ain’t got 70 days
Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I aint got the time,
And if my Daddy thinks im fine,
He’s tried to make me go to rehab,
I wont go, go, go.

The man said, why you think you here?
I said, I got no idea
Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near

Said, I just think you’re depressed
Kiss me, yeah baby
And go rest

I’m tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know

I don’t ever wanna drink again
I just, ooo, I just need a friend
Im not gonna spend 10 weeks
Have everyone think im on the mend

It’s not just my pride
It’s just til these tears have dried

They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I been black, but when I come back,
You wont know, know, know

I aint got the time,
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He’s trying to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (Original MV)


Lyrics:

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

From Amy Winehouse's second album "Back to Black", the song "Back to Black" achieve #1 on the UK charts, and entered at #7 in the USA, becoming the highest debut entry for an album by a British female solo artist.

Robin Thicke who is also nominated for the 2007 Best Male R&B Artist is a Canadian-American artist. I first saw Thicke performed this ballad when he was on the Oprah show. Imagine everyone dancing and swaying to Thicke's performance while he emits all those charm that he has. Whew!

Zac Efron & the Cast of Hairspray - Ladies' Choice (Original MV from Hairspray)



Lyrics:

Hey little girl with the cash to burn
Well I'm selling something you won't return
Hey little girl take me off the shelf
'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself
Once you browse through the whole selection
Shake those hips in my direction
Bringing it back if she never did see
Take me home and then unwrap me
Shop around with every dollar
I've got to be
The ladies' choice
Ladies' choice
The ladies' choice

Hey little girl looking for a sale
(repeat)
Test drive this American male
(repeat)
It's going to take cash to fill my tank
(repeat)
So let's crack open your piggy bank
(repeat)
Hey little girl you're window shopping
I got something that's traffic stopping

Hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree
I'm the ladies' choice
The ladies' choice
The ladies' choice

Wow!
Hey little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree

Oh, hey little girl listen to my plea
I come with a lifetime guarantee
One day maybe we'll find that baby makes three
It's the ladies' choice
I'm the ladies' choice
The ladies' choice
I'm the ladies' choice, choice, choice
I'm the ladies' choice...

Album
DVD

The film adaptation of the Broadway musical: "Hairspray" overflows with glossy, ol' fashioned '60s-style pep. It's 16 years after the release of the original film. The feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hairspray is based on John Waters' 1988 cult classic about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show.

Being described as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now", the American actor Zac Efon plays the role of Link Larkin in "Hairspray". He sang "It Takes Two", "Without Love", "You Can't Stop the Beat", "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" & of course, "Ladies' Choice" in the musical film. The California born actor looks so charming in this MV that has certainly gained him even more female fans. Wicked!

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (Original MV)


Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away

Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues

`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
And guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool

`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away

I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u


Nothing Compares 2 U", covered by Sinéad O'Connor in her album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got", was a number-one hit in 1990. It was originally written around 1984 or 1985 by Prince for the R&B band "The Family". Considered to be one of the 1990s best videos, the clip consists almost solely of a closeup on O'Connor's passionate face with an iconic ending when a genuine tear rolls down each side of her face. This MV is the first video by a female artist to win Best Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.



Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting (Live)



Lyrics:

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

"Right Here Waiting" is a ballad recorded by Richard Marx on his second album, Repeat Offender in 1989. "Right Here Waiting" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The ballad made it to #2 in the UK. Definitely one of my favorites too!

Michael W. Smith - Friends (Original MV with Lyrics)


Lyrics:

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Cant believe the hopes hes granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the lords the lord of them
And a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the fathers hands we know
That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love gods given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy youll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

A real golden classic that makes you feel so good about friends and friendships. No matter where you go, there's always friends around us... "And friends are friends forever", "a lifetimes not too long to live as friends". How sweet and lovely...

Meja & Ricky Martin - Private Emotion (Oringal MV)



Lyrics:

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you baby can't you see
You're the only one who can shine for me

[CHORUS:] It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me

When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as one way street
Well it runs both ways, open up your eyes
Can't you see me here, how can you deny

[CHORUS]

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry

[CHORUS]

A beautiful MV staring Meja & Ricky Martin. Lotsa water dripping & fiery hot fire flames. The song is originally written by Eric Bazillian and Rob Hyman of the American rock band The Hooters, who recorded it for their 1993 album, Out of Body and covered by Swedish singer, Meja & Ricky Martin in 2000.



Travis - Selfish Jean (Original MV)


Lyrics:

Cheers
Thanks for everything
You hung me out by my heart
You're just so selfish jean
Yes you are

Hey you
Threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey Jean don't rock the boat
When you can't swim

With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Here's to you
Who read everything
Left it out on the shelf
There's no one else to blame
Except yourself

Well a perfect combination of good etiquet and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Well i'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you've got nowhere to go
Well you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here

In the morning
Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring Jean
Through the wall

So hey
Here's to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah Jean the slate is clean
I guess we're fine

Well I don't expect a miracle
Not asking you to change
If you can see me happy
Well just look the other way
Oooooooooh
Selfish Jean

Heeeaaaaaah
Selfish Jean

Jean
Oh yeah
Jean

Album

Single

This MV is very interesting. It started with a man wearing a whole chunk of thick T-shirts walking to a cage like corner and as the music plays, he starts to strip his T-shirt piece by piece till end of the song. Quite a low cost MV production I would say. Nevertheless achieve a whole deal of attention to the song! Very cool!

I found that most of those T-shirts he wore in the MV are actually available from this shop. That's so cool!

Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Original MV)



Lyrics:

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

I've almost forgotten about this song till I happened to see MTV channel screening it the other day. A very emotional song. This is about a man who goes through a breakup and deals with his pain by re-entering the outside world. It was written in memory of a friend of Simon Le Bon's who died in an accident. It tells of Simon's feelings at the time and how he knew he had to go on.

Duran Duran - Come Undone (Original MV)



Lyrics:

Mine, immaculate dream, made breath and skin, Ive been waiting for you,
Signed, with a home tattoo, happy birthday to you was created for you.

(cant ever keep from falling apart.. at the seams)
(cant I believe youre taking my heart.. to pieces)

Ahh, itll take a little time, might take a little crime to come undone
Now well try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry.

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone.

(chorus)

Words, playing me deja vu, like a radio tune I swear Ive heard before,
Chill, is it something real, or the magic Im feeding off your fingers

(cant ever keep from falling apart.. at the seams)
(can I believe youre taking my heart.. to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky, well make it alright, to come undone,
Now well try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind -
And blow me in to cry.

(chorus)

Fade...

Duran Duran, the English band that has never disbanded during the past few decades. Definitely the most commercially successful of the New Romantic bands and a leading band in the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" of the United States.


The song "Come Undone" is released in the band's "The Wedding Album" in 1993. In fact, the album is such a classic that it is still a much sought-after album till today. And of course! I will listen to it on my iPod forever...



Selena - Dreaming Of You (Original MV staring JLo)


Lyrics:

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I'd wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you
Ahhh...I can't stop dreamin

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you; I love you too"

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly...

"Dreaming Of You" is the first album recorded mostly in Spanish to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, and it is the first by a Latino artist to accomplish that feat. Unfortunately the artist, Selena died from a gun shot wound during a live performance by her manager, Yolanda.

The MV that I've put up here is linked to the tribute movie about the late artist staring JLo acting as her. Quite a touching movie detailing the up-lifting spirit, perserverance & endurance of the late artist in order to achieve success. This song "Dreaming Of You" has accompanied me on my many late night studies & is such a classic that radio is still playing these days. Definitely romantic!



The Corrs - Runaway (Live Concert)



Lyrics:

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you
I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would run away
I would run away, yeah..., yeah
I would run away
I would run away with you

Cause I am falling in love with you
No never I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight, make love to me through the night
(through the night, through the night...)

Cause I have run away
I have run away, yeah..., yeah
I have run away, run away
I have run away with you

Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with you
No never I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you...
With you...

And I would runaway
I would runaway, yeah..., yeah
I would runaway (runaway)
I would runaway with you

Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with you
No never I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you...

Falling in love (falling in love) with you
No never I'm never gonna stop falling in love with you

With you, my love, with you...
na ni na ni na na...
(With you, with you, with you, with you)

The Corrs were a Celtic folk-rock and pop rock group from Dundalk, Republic of Ireland. The members of the band were four siblings - three sisters and one brother - Sharon, Caroline, Andrea (lead singer) and Jim Corr. This song "Runaway" was released in 1993 as a single.

I still remember that my sister and I went to watch The Corrs concert when they were in Singapore. Such lovely memories with such a lovely sweet song!

Rick Price - Heaven Knows (Original MV)


Lyrics:

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
Till I
close my
eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And
though she's so
far away
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And
even now she's gone
I'm still holdin' on

So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's
breakin my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my
love will come back
someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts
will find a way
Only
heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me
That if you
really love her
You've
gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's
breaking my heart
Don't
wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come
back someday
Only heaven
knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all
I can do is hope and pray
'Cause
heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the
time I act so brave
I'm
shakin' inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back
someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe
our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope
and pray
'Cause
heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

In March 1992, "Heaven Knows" was released in Australia as a single. The song by Australian Rick Price was such a beautiful hit that till today, it was still frequently played by radio. The song was also known as the best breakup song of the 90s.

Richard Marx - Now and Forever (Live)


Lyrics:

Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage
in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity
hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seam to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see

I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given
to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be you man

Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the time
All this time

Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the
sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now and forever
I will be your man

Richard Marx is best well-known for his ballads. With songs like "Hold On To The Nights", "Right Here Waiting", and the biggest hit off of this album "Now And Forever", it is clear to see that this man has had a bunch of memorable & very heartfelt touching radio ballad hits. This song is absolutely a classic often used in wedding ceremony.



Atomic Kitten - Whole Again (Original MV)



Lyrics:

f you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
You don't miss me cry
But you could make me whole again
And if you see me with another man
Laughing and joking, making the best of this I can
I'm trying to put you down
Baby I still want you around
Cause you can make me whole again

Looking back on when we first met
Can't escape and I cannot forget baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart
My friends make me smile if only for a short while
But you can make me whole again

For now I have to wait
But baby if you change your mind
Don't be too late, cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
But you could make me whole again

"... Looking back on when we first met,
I can not escape and I can not forget,
Baby, you are the one
You still turn me on,
You can make me whole again ..."
- Lyrics abstracted from the song

Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame (Original MV)


Lyrics:

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming
Is this burnin' an eternal flame

I believe
It's meant to be, darlin'
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming
Is this burnin' an eternal flame

Say my name
Sun shines trough the rain
Of all life so lonely
And come and ease the pain
I don't wanna lose this feeling

Ooh

Call my name, call my name, call my name, call my name, call my name

Say my name
Sun shines trough the rain
Of all life so lonely
And come and ease the pain
I don't wanna lose this feeling

Ooh woo ooh

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

The Bangles - Eternal Flame (Original MV)


Lyrics:

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

[break]

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

[break]

Is this burning an eternal flame?

An eternal flame?

(Close your eyes and give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?)

The song was re-released on the album "Eternal Flame" (release date Jun 30, 1998), and then in 2001 on "Eternal Flame: The Best of the Bangles".
