After leaving PWL in 1991, Jason starred in a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical 'Joseph & His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'. His version of the show's 'Any Dream Will Do' reached the UK #1 spot.
After numerous film and television projects Jason signed to Polydor Records and recorded a third album, "All Around The World", in 1993. This album was never released in his homeland Australia. The album was preceded by a UK Tour and 2 hit singles; "Mission Of Love" and a cover of "As Time Goes By". By the time the album was released, interest had dried up. The final single "All Around The World" was released in 1993.
Despite a high public profile, Donovan's star faded very quickly after his West End success. Indeed, for a brief period, Donovan was on the receiving end of open hostility from the same LGBT community which had supported his PWL era career after he sued a UK magazine for libel after it suggested - falsely - that Donovan may be homosexual.
Donovan is partnered with Angela Malloch, and they have two children together. He now works as the Heart.fm radio studios which broadcasts across the country
When You Come Back to Me
Jason Donovan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smile on their faces
Armful of presents
Going to places
There's a chill in the air
As I walk through the night
How I wish I could walk
Through the windows of time
Would I see happiness there
See your face everywhere
But the lights all go down
Over London town
There's a glow in my heart
Even though we're apart
‘Cause I know, yes, I know
It's just a matter of time
I'm missing your love
Until you come back to me
I'm counting the hours
Until you return
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
I sit by the fire
And try to remember
It won't be long ‘til
We're back together
But we're oceans apart
And nothing that I can do
Will speed the passing of time
Or bring me closer to you
And I keep thinking of you
And it keeps pulling me through
Like the songs that you sing
When you're lonely
But there's a glow in my heart
Even though we're apart
‘Cause I know, yes, I know
It's just a matter of time
I'm missing your love
Until you come back to me
I'm counting the hours
Until you return
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
And I keep thinking of you
And it keeps pulling me through
Like the songs that you sing
When you're lonely
But there's a glow in my heart
Even though we're apart
‘Cause I know, yes, I know
It's just a matter of time
I'm missing your love
Until you come back to me
I'm counting the hours
Until you return
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
I'm missing your love
Until you come back to me
I'm counting the hours
Until you return
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
I'm missing your love
Until you come back to me
I'm counting the hours
Until you return
There's a flame in my heart
And when you come back to me
Oh, how the fire will burn

So many people
There are many people around me
Smile on their faces
They all look happy
Armful of presents
They are carrying gifts
Going to places
They are all going somewhere
There's a chill in the air
The weather is cold
As I walk through the night
I am walking in the night
How I wish I could walk
I wish I could time travel
Through the windows of time
To see what the future holds
Would I see happiness there
Would I find happiness in the future?
See your face everywhere
Would I see your face in the future?
But the lights all go down
All the lights are turned off
Over London town
In the city of London
There's a glow in my heart
I have a hopeful feeling
Even though we're apart
Even though we are not together
‘Cause I know, yes, I know
I am confident and sure
It's just a matter of time
We will be together again soon
I'm missing your love
I miss your love
Until you come back to me
Until you return to me
I'm counting the hours
I am waiting patiently
Until you return
Until you come back
There's a flame in my heart
There is passion and love inside of me
And when you come back to me
When you return to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
Our love will be strong and intense
I sit by the fire
I am sitting next to a fire
And try to remember
I try to think back
It won't be long ‘til
It won't be much longer until
We're back together
We are reunited
But we're oceans apart
We are separated by a great distance
And nothing that I can do
There is nothing I can do
Will speed the passing of time
Time will pass at the same pace
Or bring me closer to you
I cannot get closer to you
And I keep thinking of you
I keep thinking about you
And it keeps pulling me through
My thoughts of you give me strength
Like the songs that you sing
Like the music you create
When you're lonely
When you feel alone
There's a flame in my heart
There is passion and love inside of me
Even though we're apart
Even though we are not together
‘Cause I know, yes, I know
I am confident and sure
It's just a matter of time
We will be together again soon
I'm missing your love
I miss your love
Until you come back to me
Until you return to me
I'm counting the hours
I am waiting patiently
Until you return
Until you come back
There's a flame in my heart
There is passion and love inside of me
And when you come back to me
When you return to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
Our love will be strong and intense
I'm missing your love
I miss your love
Until you come back to me
Until you return to me
I'm counting the hours
I am waiting patiently
Until you return
Until you come back
There's a flame in my heart
There is passion and love inside of me
And when you come back to me
When you return to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
Our love will be strong and intense
I'm missing your love
I miss your love
Until you come back to me
Until you return to me
I'm counting the hours
I am waiting patiently
Until you return
Until you come back
There's a flame in my heart
There is passion and love inside of me
And when you come back to me
When you return to me
Oh, how the fire will burn
Our love will be strong and intense

I’m 16 in a few months but I absolutely adore JD and this is my favourite song by far! so thankful my mum introduced me and kept her vinyl’s
@Spacefrog76
This has got to be one of the most underrated songs ever.
@tbatt2470
Agreed, but the video could've been sooo much better.
@mikekaraoke
@T Batt I disagree, what didn't you like sooooo much about the MV?
@fatmanizar9279
Such a feel good song ! ❤
@andrewpoon
Can't agree more! Listening in 2023 and still brings me joy like back in the 90s!
@driffter1976
You must be mad. This is totally uninspired shit.

Childhood memories, absolute classic and still listening in 2020
