Jamie Cullum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hearts gone astray
Deep in her when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
Never be denied everlasting love

Hearts gone astray
Deep in her when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
Never be denied everlasting love

From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel that you're falling everlasting love

Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever





I Need a love to last forever

There are million and one versions of this song but this one (for me) is it. Jamie Callum's delivery is smooth and meaningful without being forceful and has that piano playing that says the possibilities are endless.

@Nikioko

Sandra's version is it. Full stop.

@AnnaMikyLola
