Toto • I’ll Be Over You || Jennifer Connelly • Mix 1989/1990

#JenniferConnelly “I’ll Be Over You“ is a hit single by the American rock band Toto. Released as the lead single from their 1986 album, Fahrenheit, the song reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986. Lead vocals were sung by guitarist Steve Lukather, who co-wrote the song with hit songwriter Randy Goodrum (one of several collaborations between the two). Guest musician Michael McDonald provided the vocal counterpoint on the recording. “I’ll Be Over You“ spent two weeks at number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, Toto’s second song to top this chart (following 1983’s “I Won’t Hold You Back“). Lukather explained the song’s lyrics: “What the song is basically saying is, the guy has broken up with a girl, and realized that he should never have broken up with this girl, and he’s still really deeply in love with her. Sort of like a warning to people, like, you never know how good you got it until you don’t have it anymore.“ Lyrics: Are you gonna help me sing? Some people live their dreams Some people close their eyes Some people’s destiny Passes by There are no guarantees There are no alibis That’s how our love must be Don’t ask why It takes some time God knows how long I know that I can forget you As soon as my heart stops breakin’ Anticipating As soon as forever is through (I’ll be over you) Come on now! As soon as my heart stops breakin’ Anticipating Someday I’ll be over you As soon as my heart stops breakin’ (my heart stops breakin’) Anticipating (anticipating) As soon as forever is through I’ll be over you Thank you!
