Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time" The Tonight Show - March 1st, 1984

Cyndi Lauper released "Time After Time" on January 27, 1984.
Cyndi Lauper on The Tonight Show - March 1, 1984 performing it live.
(If you were in high school in the 80’s then you definitely had at least one slow dance to this romantic love ballad. This was the top hit on Lauper’s debut studio album She’s So Unusual. The song was inspired by her manager David Wolff.
Cyndi and David had been dating at the time. The line about the ticking clock is a direct reference to a clock that Wolff gave to Cyndi. He also makes an appearance in the songs music video.)

(Lyrics)
"Time After Time"

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
Suitcases 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

[Chorus:]
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 OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
