STEINMAN, Jim


Heaven Can Wait

Heaven can wait,

And a band of Angels wrapped up in my heart,

Will take me through the lonely night,

Through the cold of the day.

And I know, I know,

Heaven can wait,

And all the gods come down here just to sing for me,

And the melody's gonna make me fly,

Without pain, without fear.

Give me all of your dreams,

And let me go alone on your way.

Give me all of your prayers to sing,

And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day.

I got a taste of paradise,

I'm never gonna let it slip away.

I got a taste of paradise,

It's all I really need to make me stay

Just like a child again.

Heaven can wait.

And all I've got is time until the end of time.

I won't look back.

I won't look back.

Let the altars shine.

And I know that I've been released,

But I don't know to where,

And nobody's gonna tell me now,

And I don't really care. No, no, no.

I got a taste of paradise.

That's all I really need to make me stay.

I got a taste of paradise.

If I had it any sooner you know

You know I never would have run away from my home.

Heaven can wait.

And all I've got is time until the end of time.

I won't look back.

I won't look back.

Let the altars shine.

Heaven can wait.

Heaven can wait.

I won't look back.

I won't look back.

Let the altars shine.

Let the altars shine.

It’s all coming back to me now

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 tried to hurt me
I 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 (Forever)

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any 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 seemed right
There were nights 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
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me now

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

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

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry

and I know I've got to get out and cry

Turn around, every now and then

I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes

…..

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

Now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

…..

Once upon a time I was falling in love

Now I'm only falling apart

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

…..

Turn around, every now and then

I know you'll never be the boy

You always wanted to be

Turn around, but every now and then

I know you'll always be the only boy

Who wanted me the way that I am

Turn around, every now and then

I know there's no one in the universe

As magical and wondrous as you

Turn around, every now and then

I know there's nothing any better

There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

…..

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

Before we go any further

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

I gotta know right now

Before we go any further

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning
