“Time After Time,” was originally recorded by Cyndi Lauper. While I like Cyndi Lauper, I also found this lyric version sung by Pink. It’s the words I want to focus on, so I picked the Pink one.
I love the 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
The song came out right around the time I started thinking about having a baby which led me to thinking more about God. I remember watching the Cyndi Lauper video on TV in the 80s and thinking this song could be about God catching me when I fall, or a parent catching a child, being there, time after time. Of course it can be about any love that’s faithful, and that’s comforting any way you look at it.
“Time After Time,” was written by Rob Hyman, Cyndi Lauper for the album, She’s So Unusual (1983)

This is such a lovely song. She has a great voice too.

Yes! Pink has some powerful songs of her own, too.

This song is sung like a story and I think that it is about people whose lives are changing while they are together and apart but they keep on choosing each other over and over again.

Parent and child … the songs reminds me of my daughter so much and made me think of my father. I just followed the dots …

Beautiful lyrics. I prefer the original version sung by Cyndi Lauper.
June 17, 2018 at 9:49 pm
I can understand that and like them both. I especially liked the video I watched on TV in the 80s but didn’t find that one.
