"Eternal Flame" is a song by American pop/rock group The Bangles. The power ballad was written by group member Susanna Hoffs with the songwriting team of Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. In 1989 "Eternal Flame" became a number-one hit in nine countries, including Sweden, UK and the USA. Since its release, it has been covered by many musical artists, including Australian boy band Human Nature, who reached the Australian top 10 with their version, and British girl group Atomic Kitten, who topped four national charts with their rendition.

I heard my good friend, Jimmy Quango:    • "Eternal Flame" (The Bangles) fingers...   play this last week and he inspired me to make a classical guitar version for my students and for you to listen to. Please listen to Jimmy's version!

Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along with me.

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Oh (an eternal flame)
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand...
