It's All Coming Back to Me Now


by Jim Steinman

Performed by Celine Dion on the album Falling Into You.

      There were nights when the wind was so cold
      That my body froze in bed
      If I just listened to it
      Right outside the window

      There were days when the sun was so cruel
      That all the tears turned to dust
      And I just knew my eyes were
      Drying up forever

      I finished crying in the instant that you left
      And I can't remember where
      or when or how
      And I banished every memory
      you and I had ever made

      But when you touch me like this
      And you hold me like that
      I just have to admit
      That it's all coming back to me
      When I touch you like this
      And I hold you like that
      It's so hard to believe 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 gold
      And there were flashes of light
      There were things I'd never do again
      But then they'd always seemed right
      There were nights of endless pleasure
      It was more than any laws allow
      Baby Baby

      If I kiss you like this
      And you whisper like that
      It was lost long ago
      But it's all coming back to me
      If you want me like this
      And if you need me like that
      It was dead long ago
      But it's all coming back to me
      It's so hard to resist
      And it's all coming back to me
      I can barely recall
      But it's all coming back to me now
      But it's all coming back

      There were those empty threats and
      hollow lies
      And whenever you tried to hurt me
      I just hurt you even worse
      And so much deeper

      There were hours that just went on
      for days
      When alone at last we'd count up
      all the chances
      That were lost forever

      But you were history with the
      slamming of the door
      And I made myself so strong
      again somehow
      And I never wasted any of my time
      on you since then

      But if I touch you like this
      And if you kiss me like that
      It was so long ago
      But it's all coming back to me

      If you touch me like this
      And if I kiss you like that
      It was gone wth 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 gold
      And there were flashes of light
      There were things we'd never do again
      But then they'd always seemed right
      There were nights of endless pleasure
      It was more than any laws allow
      Baby, Baby, Baby

      When you touch me like this
      And when you hold me like that
      It was gone with the wind
      But it's all coming back to me
      When you see me like this
      And when I see you like that
      Then we see what we want to see
      All coming back to me
      The flesh and the fantasies
      All coming back to me
      I can barely recall
      But it's all coming back to me now

      If you forgive me all this
      And I forgive you all that
      We forgive and forget
      And it's all coming back to me
      When you see me like this
      And when I see you like that
      We see just what we want to see
      All coming back to me
      I can barely recall but it's all coming
      back to me now

      (It's all coming back to me now)
      And when you kiss me like that
      (It's all coming back to me now)
      And when I touch you like that
      (It's all coming back to me now)
      If you do it like this
      (It's all coming back to me now)
      And if we . . .
