Innocent
Mike Oldfield feat. Maggie Railly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you'll never stay the same.
In time, most of us lose it.
But I'm hoping, just the same,
You'll shine and learn how to use it.
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
My hands hold you and you adore,
Blue eyes turn my direction.
Surprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection.
Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Walk to me, like the very first walk.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
Sunrise, here comes another day.
Cow jumps over the moon, now.
Sometime, you will look back and say,
"Today, I'll sing my own tune."
Sing to me, like the very first sing.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are omnipotent when you're innocent.
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
Sing to me, like the very first sing.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.




Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are omnipotent when you're innocent.

A shooting star fell down to earth
Lightning cracked the sky
Something weird is happening
Something I can't deny

[Pre-Chorus]
A strange kind of magic
Running through my brain
Feel I'm in heaven
Or going insane

[Chorus]
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heartbeat fast? I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heartbeat so? I can't let you go
Want you in my life

[Verse 2]
The wind was like a hurricane
Storm clouds filled the sky
I heard a crash of thunder
The earth shook in reply

Everytime We Touch Lyrics

A shooting star fell down to earth
Lightning cracked the sky
Something weird is happening
Something I can't deny

A strange kind of magic
Running through my brain
Feel I'm in heaven
Or going insane

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause everytime we touch
I feel this static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

The wind was like a hurricane
Storm clouds filled the sky
I heard a crash of thunder
The earth shook in reply
A strange kind of magic
Running through my brain
Feel like I'm in heaven
Or going insane

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
Can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause everytime we touch
I feel this static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

Kinda sad that the original has less views than the cover version. Maggie Reilly has such an amazing voice.

@yamahamer89

They only really have chorus in common.
I hate that dance pop just beats the catchy part into the ground. because dance pop is great without that aspect. or without a pointless kick and snare beat for 2 minutes before the song starts.

@theOldGod

Its been covered again, in the netherlands a group used the exact tune and sped it up even faster then cascada did. Different lyrics though

@somebuddy.

I love the original one❤️
