About Everytime We Touch

“Everytime We Touch” is a song jointly written and composed, then recorded, by Maggie Reilly for her 1992 album Echoes. Reilly collaborated with Stuart Mackillop and Peter Risavy to write the lyrics of, and compose the music for, the song, which Armand Volker produced and which was recorded on the Mambo Musik Records label. It was a major hit in Europe in the 1990s, reaching #1 chart position in Norway (a position it held for 8 consecutive weeks) and helped increase her profile as an independent artist--back in the 1980s she had been known mostly for her contribution of the female vocals in the hit song "Moonlight Shadow" by Mike Oldfield and many of Oldfield's other albums.

A shooting star fell down to earth
Lightning cracked the sky
Something weird is happening
Something I can't deny

A strange kind of magic
Running through my brain
Feel I'm in heaven
Or going insane

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear, I could fly

Can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky

Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

The wind was like a hurricane
Storm clouds filled the sky
I heard a crash of thunder
The earth shook in reply

A strange kind of magic
Running through my brain
Feel like I'm in heaven
Or going insane

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear, I could fly

Can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky

Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear, I could fly

Can't you hear my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause everytime we touch
I feel the static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky

Can't you hear my heart beat so
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

'Cause everytime we touch
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear, I could fly

Can't you hear my heart beat fast
