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?
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 watch you when you're sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
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
Sun shines through the rain
Of all life so lonely
Now come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
An eternal flame
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
An eternal flame
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?
An eternal flame
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
@SnakeSoliloquy Yeah, I see it as just a sweet, innocent love song, no particularly complex interpretation warranted.

My all time favouritelove song. And that's all I gotta say :]
When you first realize your in love.
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
I love love love this song!!! My first album purchased was the bangles 'everything"
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.
This song has been my me an my wife's song since we started dating in 1991. To this day I am not sure why we did not plan to have it sung on our wedding day back on March 13, 1993.
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
