Every Breath You Take
Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, "Baby, baby, please"
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every Breath You Take
Shirley Bassey's 1967 recording of 'Every Breath You Take' stands as a defining moment in her career, showcasing her commanding vocal power and dramatic flair. Originally written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel for the film 'The Thomas Crown Affair', the song was reimagined by Bassey with a darker, more brooding interpretation that highlighted her signature operatic style. The track became a signature piece for the actress and singer, appearing on her 1968 album 'Emi / Ua Years 1959-1979' and cementing her status as a major international performer. Its haunting melody and Bassey's intense delivery created a unique atmosphere that distinguished it from the original pop version, influencing countless artists who followed in her wake.
