It's All Coming Back To Me Now Lyrics

	


There were nights when the wind was so cold,
That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel,
That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made

But when you touch me like this, and you hold me like that,
I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this, and I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me

It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure, it was more than any laws allow

Baby Baby
If I kiss you like this, and if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago but it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this and if you need me like that
It was dead long ago but it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you'd try to hurt me I'd just hurt you even worse and so much deeper

There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances that were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted of my time on you since then

But if I touch you like this, and if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago but it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this, and if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me

It's all coming back it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again but then they'd always seem right
There were night of endless pleasure, it was more than all your laws allow

Baby Baby Baby
When you touch me like this, and when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this, and when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see all coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies all coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this, and I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this, and when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see all coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies all coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me

Now
It's all coming back to me now
And when you kiss me like this
It's all coming back to me now
And when I touch you like that
It's all coming back to me now
And if you do it like this
It's all coming back to me now
And if we …

simply beautiful... the meaning is obvious- losing the one you love and blocking out memories of them bcos its too painful... but one day they return but you have forgotten them... until they touch you... then all those feelings and memories come flooding. its like that one person can break down all your barriers.

I like the song quite a bit. It reminds me of my ex, who was so great to me, and it ended abruptly and unexpectedly on a very bad note, and we kinda hated each other, then. But now, I'm beginning to fall for her again. It reminds me of the way that 2 minutes with them can make up for the 180,000 minutes you had to spend without them.

sometimes it's just a melody or a certain smell that reminds you on the feeling you once had for someone... this is what this beautiful song reminds me of

Jim Stienman is the freakin most brilliant song writer in the world!! This song was originally written for Meat Loaf to put on the Album Bat Out of Hell II (in 1993) but Meat Loaf wanted to use I would do anything for love (but I wont do that) instead and wait to put this song on Bat Out of Hell III (in 2006)......so Jim let Celine sing it. Later Meat Loaf sang this as a duet with a norwegian girl named Marion Ravon (who has an AMAZING VOICE).

 Celine did a good job, but it's no where near as good as when Meat Loaf sang it.  Theres just too much emotion and power in his voice that no singer could EVER beat.   MEAT LOAF 4EVER!!!!

Amazingly stunning song, lyrically, musically - especially her version. I love both her and Meat Loaf - but hers is the definitive version. Just like his version of "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that) will always be the gold standard on that one. If you can, "watch" her version of this powerful song on the new iTunes visualizer...perfection for that app

This song is about someone who had lost someone they had loved, and since it was such a tradgity, they blocked it out of thier mind, but suddenly, little things make her remember. Very beautiful
