ETERNAL FLAME
(Susanna Lee Hoffs / Thomas F  Kelly / William E  Steinberg)

as recorded by The Bangles
1988


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?
Is this burning 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?
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 come and ease the pain!
I don't wanna lose this feelin', oh!

Say my name,
Sun shines through the rain!
A whole life so lonely,
And then come and ease the pain!
I don't wanna lose this feelin', oh!

Close your eyes, 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?

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?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

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

Close your eyes...
