Eclipse

Story Behind The Song

It was the first line of this song that appeared to me and started the whole ball rolling. "The greatest irony involving you and me is how you came to be part of my life." That's how it happens - some event appears to be random but it can turn out to be a life-changer. Can you tell I have a crush on someone?

Lyrics

Eclipse

V1: The greatest irony involving you and me
Is how you came to be part of my life
I nearly walked on by but then you caught my eye
You didn't even try to hide your light

Cho: Like an eclipse, I can't look at you too long or I might go blind
Just one kiss - I can't get you off my mind
Oh, I dreamed of this
[1] Wondered if it exists
Now I've seen the eclipse
[2] Dreamed about this kiss
You're my eclipse

V2: They say that love is blind but, if given time,
Manages to find the moon to our sun
Too often we react impatiently
Because we desperately want to find the one

Cho:

Bridge: The moon was hidden behind a cloud of doubt and fear
Not till all the planets aligned did the brilliance of your light appear

V3: The closer I get to the pure and simple you
The more I see you through a loving lens
You reach a part of me no one else gets to see
Stripped of the vanity and pretense

Cho:
