Lyric
There were nights when the wind was so coldThat my body froze in bedIf I just listened to it right outside the windowThere were days when the sun was so cruelThat all the tears turned to dustAnd I just knew my eyes were drying up forever (forever)
I finished crying in the instant that you leftAnd I can’t remember where or when or howAnd I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like thisAnd you hold me like thatI just have to admit that it’s all coming back to meWhen I touch you like thisAnd I hold you like thatIt’s so hard to believe, but it’s all coming back to meIt’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now
There were moments of goldAnd there were flashes of lightThere were things I’d never do againBut then they’d always seemed rightThere were nights of endless pleasureIt was more than any laws allowBaby, baby
If I kiss you like thisAnd if you whisper like thatIt was lost long ago, but it’s all coming back to meIf you want me like thisAnd if you need me like thatIt was dead long ago, but it’s all coming back to meIt’s so hard to resist, and it’s all coming back to meI can barely recall, but it’s all coming back to me nowBut it’s all coming back
But you were history with the slamming of the doorAnd I made myself so strong again somehowAnd I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like thisAnd if you kiss me like thatIt was so long ago, but it’s all coming back to meIf you touch me like thisAnd if I kiss you like thatIt was gone with the wind, but it’s all coming back to me(It’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now)
There were moments of goldAnd there were flashes of lightThere were things we’d never do againBut then they’d always seemed rightThere were nights of endless pleasureIt was more than all your laws allowBaby, baby, baby
When you touch me like thisAnd when you hold me like thatIt was gone with the wind, but it’s all coming back to meWhen you see me like thisAnd when I see you like thatThen we see what we want to see, all coming back to meThe flesh and the fantasies, all coming back to meI can barely recall, but it’s all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all thisIf I forgive you all thatWe forgive and forget and it’s all coming back to me now(It’s all coming back to me now)And when you kiss me like this(It’s all coming back to me now)And when I touch you like that(It’s all coming back to me now)And if you do it like this(It’s all coming back to me now)And if we
