ETERNAL FLAME (bangles)

Chorus
Close your eyes
Give me a 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 you come an ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling, oh. (bis)

Close your eyes...

Close your eyes
Give me a hand, darlin’
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Aaaaaahh, is this burning an eternal flame

Close your eyes...
