Everlasting Love Lyrics
[Verse]
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
[Chorus]
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
[Post-Chorus]
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
[Chorus]
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
[Post-Chorus]
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
[Verse]
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret it
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
[Chorus]
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun, it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
[Post-Chorus]
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret it
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew, yeah
[Chorus]
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun, it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
[Post-Chorus]
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
[Chorus]
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
[Outro]
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
[Outro]
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Track #23 on U2’s 1998 compilation album The Best of 1980-1990.
A deliberately carefree version of London pop-group Love Affair’s 1967 song, U2’s recording of ‘Everlasting Love’ signposts a change in their musical direction. The group embraces the innocence of the throwaway pop single, with Bono delightedly hammering the trite lyrics (“Need you by my side/Come and be my bride/Never be denied/Everlasting love!”).
