Eternal Flame
ERIC MARTIN - Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
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, darling
I watch 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 the sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Oh, oh

Say my name the sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Oh, oh

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?




Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning an eternal flame?
