Eternal Flame Lyrics

Close your eyes
Give me your hand
Darling, do you feel
My heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
Is this burning?
An eternal flame

I believe it's meant to be darling
I watch you when you're sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?

But is this burning (burning)?
An eternal flame
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
Of all life so lonely
Then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Oh
Oh, oh

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
Of all life so lonely
Now come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Oh

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
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, darling
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, darling
(Ooh yeah yeah)
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?

Is this burning?
An eternal flame

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?

"I watch you when you are sleeping"

No, the speaker is not a stalker. "watch" is as in "watch over" as in protect When one is asleep, one is unconscious and unaware. Thus: I protect you when you're not aware of things or basically it conveys a sense that the speaker is there for the loved one

My Interpretation

@SnakeSoliloquy Yeah, I see it as just a sweet, innocent love song, no particularly complex interpretation warranted.

French kissed my first real girlfriend outside a café, overlooking the eiffel tower on this song. Probably 10.000.000 other teens did the same somewhere, sometime... but I swear: at that very time, at that very place, this song was playing just for us :) Almost 30 years later I can't help feeling melancholy, thinking about Sophie and the Eiffel Tower every time I hear this song

Someone once told me it was about contracting an STD and wondering whether it was permanent. I'm sure that's not what they meant, but funny to read it that way.

Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles said the inspiration was from their visit to Graceland where Elvis had lived. There is an "eternal flame" that is always burning near the grace site. On that day it was raining, the fire had been extinguished for a while on their visit to the site.

How does it feel To treat me like you do When you've laid laid your hands upon me And told me "who you are"

I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel
