Deborah Ann Gibson, also credited as Debbie Gibson (born August 31, 1970 in… Read Full Bio ↴Deborah Ann Gibson, also credited as Debbie Gibson (born August 31, 1970 in Brooklyn, NY, United States), is an American singer-songwriter, and record producer who was initially a teen idol appearing repeatedly on the cover of such teen magazines as Tiger Beat. In contrast to the prevalence of the name Debbie in her teen-idol phase, by 1997, she showed a preference for “Deborah” even then, and her fans had, long before before the release of "Naked", signalled a departure from that image by using this name to refer to her. Deborah's ninth album, "Ms. Vocalist" was released in late 2010. The albums' lead single "I Love You" shot to #1 on Japan after the single was released.

Here is the lyrics so we can sing along with Debbie... thanks for sharing this video. i love this so so much. ❤❤❤

If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
But baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance
I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong
I'll raise my voice
If it means
We'll be together
For a while

I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
And then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security
For just the possibility
That we could be together
For a while

If you said jump I'd say how high?
If you said run I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass up by
And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while

I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
But there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
Then we could be together
For a while

Wait'll I tell my guy
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy
And ya know what?
That depends
'Cause I'm crazy in love
With you
And everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes
Will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once-
(only live once, only live once)
And

There are no guarantees
But if it means
There's even a possibility
Then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
For a while
❤❤❤

You are talking about two different compilations: "Greatest Hits" and "Lost In Your Eyes And Other Hits". "Greatest Hits" includes “Out Of The Blue”, but does not include "We Could Be Together". "Lost In Your Eyes And Other Hits" - the exact opposite.

I think that Atlantic ignored "We Could Be Together" because this single charted poorly.

I'm a 48 year old male in Northern Ireland and I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved Debbie Gibson's songs in the eighties and I was a big Def Leppard and Poison fan for flips sake. Heck I even had her first three albums on cassette.She was/is gorgeous and I admit I had a BIT of a crush on her.I can't believe that she will be 50 at the end of August.I hope it doesn't sound TOO rude to talk about a ladie's age. Boy does the time fly.

When kids my age made great music. Im going out on a limb here but most of these songs are from when i was courting in country lanes parked up as a young man, and thats why those impressionable years stay with me in music. College, girlfriend first car etc Wish i was 19 again ....... bring back the 80s x
