Lyrics:
Take my hand
Tell me what you're feeling
Understand
This is just the beginning
Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again
Darling, leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling, leave a light on for me
'Cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I can't explain, I don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave the light on for me
Yes, I know
What I'm asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love (lose your love)
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life
Darling leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
'Cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I can't explain, I don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me
Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that's your heart
Baby that's your heart
Baby that's your heart
Kids today will never understand how great the 80s were. They can have Taylor Swift. I will take this lady any day.
Isn't this when Belinda was coked out of her head?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m 51 and will always love and miss the 80s. Taylor Swift’s songwriting skills, music business acumen, and pop sensibilities are world class. She has earned her global star status. That isn’t meant as a knock on Belinda Carlisle or her bandmates from the Go-Go’s. Just that cocaine is a helluva drug.
I like em both . I honestly think Taylor would have been a good addition to the 80’s
@@johnpauljones9310It was the 80’s !!!! 90’s had crack heads we had coke heads
Different with today music they can't write music like eightys now.
She was absolutely at the peak of her beauty hear what a gorgeous woman!
Belinda Carlisle is the most beautiful female ever 🥂✨✨✨✨
She is perfect. Love her voice so much. I'm so happy I got to see her live at least once. Definitely a highlight of my life
@@stevabobic bro, u forgot to take your pills
@@stevabobic great for you bro! I actually like opera. Hope to hear you singing one of these days. You know what they say “Of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive”.
@@stevabobicChill,bro..
@@stevabobic Your life is definitely dismal if you feel the need to write such an unnecessary, demeaning comment to a stranger about a comment that had nothing to do with you. What a horror.
When I watch videos like this, I can't help but smile and realize I grew up in a very special time in history. Thank you BC.
Brilliant song. 🔥🔥🔥 Belinda looks stunning as always. ❤❤❤
Красота во всем!
Love Belinda and this song especially ❤
Big big love 🙂
I mean is there not a tune this gorgeous woman didn't sing so melodiously! Angelic, iconic voice that you can't even imitate or duplicate! That's how incredible her voice was and is to listen to! All Time Great! With Love from Brooklyn, NY Belinda! ❤❤❤
She could sing the Nassau County phone book and I’d still love it
What a voice !!!!
Belinda Carlisle has some of the best pop songs ever
This is a great song❤
Over the years, this song has not only become my favorite Belinda song, but one of my top 10 all time more listened songs every year and among 10 most listened to of all times, which in my book, would also count as one of my all time favorite songs as well!
Belinda has the looks, the moves and the voice to match. What a performer. She certainly made an impression. Esp on the male folk.
One of the best songs I love hearing over and over ❤ I Miss The 80's ❤️ Love You Belinda ❤
The most beautiful entertainer from the 80's. She's flawless.
Music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, had substance. Music today is souless and empty.
Спасибо за прекрасное живое выступление, неповторимый голос, любимую песню и безусловный талант ❤
Talent and beauty. Would love to see her live again. 😊
Bittersweet emotions...
Flashbacks of loved ones and friends long gone by now...
If I knew back then what I know now...I would cherish every fucking second with them
Circles in the sand..😢❤
I'm 63 and still got a crush on Belinda x
mee too
Im 47, too😊
@@gamingkobold9423Me tooooooooo
80s forever young🙌❤️❤️🙌
She was breathtaking
My favorite Belinda Carlisle song and for sure one of my favorite 1980's song. I can hear this song over and over.
it wasn't 1980, it was 1989....
Waited all day for this
@@stevabobic It wasn't remastered to this level and not on Belinda's channel until recently.
Wow didn’t realise she was this beautiful when I was growing up. She’s gorgeous ❤
Jesus! This confirms why I got a certain sensation as a kid.
you didnt have to be a kid, older people too
Love this song.. listen to it all the time.. and circle in the sand. Brilliant voice. ❤
One watch of this video tells you all you need about how brilliant her music is, and why she was (and still is) such a big crush for so many of us.
its good to know that the extras from the lost boys could diversify and do back up guitar and bass👌
Not with Twisted Sister though? 😅
Wow, these were the days and the songs!
I miss 80's music
Belinda Carlisle was so beautiful and talented, forget all the the crap you get these days Taylor swift etc, Belinda is the real deal.
I would definitely leave the light on for Belinda.
I'd wait up all night!
It's amazing to know now it was 35 years ago when this song came out.
Around December of 1989 this was first heard
Bellísima voz y ella, preciosa.Una de las mejores cantantes pop de los 80
Her hair looked the prettiest like this.
Excellent song by belinda Carlisle leave a light on awesome singer one of the best musician ever amazing voice 🎤🎸🎵🎵🎵🎵top of the pops and the backing singers were just perfect
@@stevabobic drugs are for loser like you 🦾💀🦾
@@stevabobic very good 🎸🥁🎤🎺🎻🎹🎹🎸🎷🎷🎻🎻🎻🎻
Insanely beautiful and talented
....OK, to all of you whinin' about the lyp-synch....EVERYONE did it in 1989, and TOTP had their Artists do it for DECADES....It was to make sure the consumer 'heard' what they were going to buy, when they bought the Single....back THEN, People already KNEW Singers like Belinda can sing....She was already a 'proven' talent.....and, was DEVASTATINGLY GORGEOUS....The 80's Ann Margret.....😍
😂I didn’t really notice. She’s amazing anyways❤
100 agree that was the norm back then so people can’t be critical. Bieber and his excessive use of auto tune cause he doesn’t have any talents is what people should be critical of
On TOTP from 1966 to 1980 they had to rerecord the single, then mime to it OR sing a live vocal over a backing track. If ut was a solo singer like Tom Jones, Lulu or many others they often sang live with a live backing band. The TOTP orchestra.Thats why bands like Queen devised videos to avoid having recreate Bohemian Rhapsody, it was due to the Musicians Union. After 1980 to about 1991 ish they had to mime to the single version. Then they went back to live vocals for a period. For most if the 70s the TOTP version was often somewhat different to the single version.
Not because the artists demanded it but because the tv shows they performed on were not set up for live vocal performances.
@kekwayblaze3176
There were technical reasons as well. Microphony, for example, when vibration from audio can cause the TV tube in the TV camera to vibrate, causing moving lines up the picture. Not good. In the TOTP studio, there wasn't time to adjust volumes and set levels to avoid this effect. It was easier to have artists mime to a quiet playback in the studio, and then add a loud audio for broadcast. It was hard to set levels for multiple artists in the studio. They didn't have time for prolonged soundchecks. Again live performance was possible, but it was harder to do.
However the Musicians Union vetoed miming to a single. So artists had to perform to a rerecording. This was the case on BBC shows and ITV productions. (Granada/LWT/Thames/ATV/Yorkshire etc)
Childhood crush right there. She had so much energy on stage.
Молодая, красивая, самая любимая моя Белинда!!! ❤🌹Хочу обратно в 80-ые!!!
Niby 35 lat minęło, a ciaaary wciąż są ...🤟😎
I loved this song when it came out. Reminds me so much of my college years. Those were the days ❤

She was one of many I had in the bank at the time😂
Holy smokes!!! as a kid I was enthralled with Belinda Carlisle and only now do I realize that my wife looks just like her.. WTF man
Quit Lying.
Lucky man, having a beautiful wife
It's Top of the Pops. They always mime on Top of the Pops. Don't get your knickers in a twist guys.
Saw her live at the Cambridge Corn Exchange last year. Still awesome!
Saw her live a couple of years ago, she was absolutely amazing and *smiled* non-stop through the concert! :)
Belinda Carlisle could sing the phone book and I would buy the CD or Pay for concert tickets to see her !!!
Belinda est très belle ❤
Голос - божественный, сама красавица, смотрю, наслаждаюсь, любуюсь❤❤😊
Saw Belinda live in 2023 - Exeter... She was fantastic.. Couldn't knock her - solid vocalist. 😊
Cool!!!
Quien más está alrededor del 🌎 viendo a #BelindaCarlisle y si fabulosa voz dándole luz a la vida con esta canción??? 👇 ❤👇
Remember watching this at the time - thought the song was amazing - love the Runaway Horses album, was something else!
Oh Beautiful Belinda 😍
The eighties knew how to craft perfect pop for sure!
A great song. I wish I could go back to the 80s. 😊
OMG, absolutely! Kids today have no idea...
We can only listen to the music and bring back the memories 😢
Better times! Humanity peaked at this point. 💫
I peaked early watching her
I was 12, and so in love with this woman!
😄😅 She was gorgeous. Just like Kim Wilde.
Runaway Horses of 1989 (where this song was on) was her best album. Almost every song a banger!
Belinda una voz encantadora del rock pop de los 80 maravillosa música y canción inolvidable 🎉❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I this song reminds me being a teenager again l ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊
I'll never forget the first time I heard this as a kid ❤ still hits me the same all these years after classic ❤

Da war ich 13 Jahre kann mich noch an den Auftritt erinnern.😊 I lovid ❤❤❤
Fantasticaaaaa🤩 Belinda sei bellissima 🌹💥😍🎈🎈🎈💖
Hard to put to words: the notes she holds and tone of her voice is haunting in a good way. Takes you back to happier times. ❤u Belinda.
Bella, semplice,senza tatuaggi o piercing. Un piacere guardarla e ascoltarla!!
That guitarist didn't give a feck that day. He had a blast because every artist had to mime on this show.
lol I was noticing his energy too include the bass player in that too hahaha so cheesy
lol lol
Wow . She is gorgeous and what a great song !
One of the better songs of 1989
What guitarist? Was only watching her
Thank you Belinda for all the great memories!
Love this song
With all the drugs and alcohol abuse of her youth she looks phenomenal here at 31.
Браво!!!!!❤❤❤
brings back a lot of memories.
Es mi primera canción favorita! La que siempre me lleva al refugio en esta vida.
Gracias eternamente #BelindaCarlisle.
🇦🇷 🌎
The most cutie woman in 80,s 90,s....along Kylie Minogue and Susanna hoffs ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
She still so gorgeous ❤
I would leave the light on for belinda also make my bed for her 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I'm reading a lot of comments about her lip syncing. But for those who don't know, This was TOP OF THE POPS, This is how it was. EVERY ACT that performed on TOTP had to LIP SYNC........That's just the way it was on TOTP esp back then. Look it up nobody doesn't believe me. Some acts that don't often LIP SYNC tend to be bad at it as they didn't have much practice doing it.
scene in Bohemian Rhapsody about it iirc?
it was up to the artists if they wanted to lip sync or not.. the show didnt care either way...
@@OnlyThe1Son yes as of 1991 the lip syncing rule was relaxed giving artists a chance to perform live but with a backing track. However this was 1989 so that new rule was not active. For example OASIS hated doing TOTP because they could not perform live with the band. So NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHAER swapped places with each other, NOEL singing and LIAM playing the guitar just to stick their fingers up at TOTP producers.
T'pau performed their song Sex Talk live on the Roxy (the TOTP's rivalry, which aired every Tuesday).
It ROCKED 🎸
It was not just TOP OF THE TOPS all tv shows did lip sycing even going back to Ready Steady Go and they still do it today 2024.
Forever young!
Back to my elementary/junior high time
epic epic epic
😊 Happier days 👌
*Back when vocalists were made famous by their skills and unique sound. Not simply because they can hold a note, like 90% of the world. Belinda has a golden voice.*
Belinda is the most beautiful woman in pop scene. Thank god!
