"Time After Time"

— by Cyndi Lauper

 

Cyndi Lauper wrote this with Rob Hyman, who also sang backup.

This song is a beautiful piece that clearly shows, that even though Lauper may look on the outside like a doof, may sing about wanting to have fun, but deep inside her soul, there lies a beautiful person.

It's a song of always being there for someone that you love …

 

 

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion …
Is nothing new
Flashback — warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after …

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow …
I fall behind …
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you — I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you — I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
you're wondering
If I'm O.K.
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time …
If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you — I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow …
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look
and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you — I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
