Gaines studied art before becoming a singer as a teenager. He joined a local cover band then left later and released his first, self-titled album in 1992 after signing to Chrysalis Records. He released albums in 1994 and 1998, then had a breakthrough in 2001 when his cover of " In Your Eyes " became an Adult Contemporary hit. Speaking with Songfacts about his record company experience, Gaines said: "I think it was great recording for a label - that label, any label - it has been great. Since leaving Chrysalis / EMI, I went on to do the same thing for other labels, and those experiences have gone and are going great as well. In the US, I recorded for Rykodisc and Artemis Recors. Overseas, my records came out on Epic, Virgin."
Gaines continues to perform live.

Over And Over
Jeffrey Gaines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The worries of the world will subside
Open your heart, open your mind
Open up your arms and hold on tight
Burning my desire for you
All my dreams are coming true
Now you're more to me, I'm more to you
There's more to us, there's more to living
So glad that we are beyond the beginning
Beautiful the starlight on your skin
So glad we are beyond the beginning
We've waited so long and now we are here
Finally it's me that is winning
Yearning like a young girl should
You and I, we've got it good
Now you're more to me, I'm more to you
There's more to us, there's more to living
There's more I know, so much more to be
So glad that we are beyond the beginning
Magical the way you make me feel
Easy 'cause our thing is so real
Just watching you smile in your shy little way
Here with you is where I want to stay
Learning more with every touch
Never have I felt so much
Now you're more to me, I'm more to you
There's more to us, more to living
Much more I know, more to be
So glad that we are beyond the beginning
Beautiful the starlight on your skin
So glad we are beyond the beginning
