• There were nights when the wind was so coldThat my body froze in bed if I just listened to itRight outside the windowThere were days when the sun was so cruelThat all the tears turned to dustAnd I just knew my eyes were drying up forever (forever)I finished crying in the instant that you leftAnd I can't remember where or when or howAnd I banished every memory you and I had ever madeBut when you touch me like thisAnd you hold me like thatI just have to admitThat it's all coming back to meWhen I touch you like thisAnd I hold you like thatIt's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to meIt's all coming back, it's all coming back to me nowThere were moments of gold and there were flashes of lightThere were things I'd never do againBut then they'd always seemed rightThere were nights of endless pleasureIt was more than any laws allowBaby, babyIf I kiss you like thisAnd if you whisper like thatIt was lost long ago but it's all coming back to meIf you want me like thisAnd if you need me like thatIt was dead long ago but it's all coming back to meIt's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to meI can barely recallBut it's all coming back to me nowBut it's all coming backThere were those empty threats and hollow liesAnd whenever you try to hurt meI just hurt you even worse and so much deeperThere were hours that just went on for daysWhen alone at last we'd count up all the chancesThat were lost to us forever (forever)But you were history with the slamming of the doorAnd I made myself so strong again somehowAnd I never wasted any of my time on you since thenBut if I touch you like thisAnd if you kiss me like thatIt was so long ago but it's all coming back to meIf you touch me like thisAnd if I kiss you like thatIt was gone with the windBut it's all coming back to meIt's all coming back, it's all coming back to me nowThere were moments of goldAnd there were flashes of lightThere were things we'd never do againBut then they'd always seemed rightThere were nights of endless pleasureIt was more than all your laws allowBaby, baby, babyWhen you touch me like thisAnd when you hold me like thatIt was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to meWhen you see me like thisAnd when I see you like thatThen we see what we want to see all coming back to meThe flesh and the fantasies all coming back to meI can barely recall but it's all coming back to me nowIf you forgive me all thisIf I forgive you all thatWe forgive and forget and it's all coming back to meWhen you see me like thisAnd when I see you like thatWe see just what we want to see all coming back to meThe flesh and the fantasies all coming back to meI 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 this(It's all coming back to me now)And when I touch you like that(It's all coming back to me now)And if you do it like this(It's all coming back to me now)And if we Writer/s: Jim Steinman Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• AnonymousI have also read that a Young Viggo Mortensen is the phantom lover, but I have also read that he was just a Model in Czechoslovakia, (where the video was made).
• Nagging Question from New JerseyMy sister keeps asking the same question over and over again: Who's the guy in the video? And yes, i'm talking about the Celine Dion video. If anyone has the answer, please drop it on this page so we can all get some sleep tonight without nagging questions......
• Kristin from Maine Why can’t I find who the guy is in the video? Who is he? I’ve read a couple comments n totally agree it’s weird that the info on him has disappeared or was never credited. It’s bugging me I gotta know. Ugh! If anyone knows pls say sumthn!
• Chantell Snyder from Oregon In the Céline Dion version, is he is killed in a freak accident. (My guess is after a fight,) if you listen to the lyrics ). And the shock of it causes her to lose all memory of him.Then one night she starts having vision's of him and finally she starts remembering him. I don't think it's his ghost she is seeing, I think it is her memory. coming back. So the point of the story is she can REMEMBER him now. Also, I think I read the guy in the video is actor, Viggo Morrison. Is it?
• Bccooper from TexasDoes anyone else find it very very odd that it is absolutely impossible to find who the man on the motorcycle, in the pictures, haunting her in the video was. Seriously not even listed as a cast member in the video. Apparently that man is also Celine Dion. I guess she is really just a man who cross dresses so she did both parts.
• Sophie-louise from EnglandI have listened to the Celine version but Lea Michele sang it best in 3x21 as Rachel Berry on Glee.
• Joseph from Reading, United KingdomThe original singer from Pandoras Box, who sang this song is called Elaine Caswell. it is said that she fainted 5 times during its recording and that the song had to be rewritten in a lower key so the notes could be reached. She can be seen in the video lying on a table. That video was made at Pinewood studios in England. The video was said to be one of the most expensive videos ever made and is certainly very thought provoking. Celine Dions version is very different and shorter. She was left standing on a conveyor belt for around 8 hours trying to capture the part of her video where the walls move around her.
• Reza from Shiraz, Irangreat song greater voice ( wish celine werent from the french part of canada, some sounds come out of her nose instead of her mouth)
• Madison from Norway, MeAs sappy as Celine is, I like this song.
• Ankit from Bangalore, IndiaHave not heard the Celine Dion version, but Meatloaf version is cool.
• Stacy from Evansville, InIt is actually a beautiful song. I have it on my MySpace profile right now because it is excactly how I feel about this situation right now. I need to get over this jerky man very fast and plan on slamming the door and not looking back, as the lyrics suggest.
