Newton-John, Olivia - Suspended In Time Lyrics






A child and a fool in one
So sure I could need no one
My heart always on the run to nowhere
Now as you're holding me
My heart is reminding me
That now I could never be without you

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you

Keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time

Wasted the time away
Holding your love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Your eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever

    Still beautiful!!

  2. E.... E....

    This song. These lyrics. Pleading to Zeus to make her mortal so she can truly love him forever not just his muse.

  3. M.... o....

    I love that song, check this Bass and Voice version:

    Music...Space ...Time

    🎵🌌⏳⭐🙏😇

  6. J.... M....

    Do you watch this, keep i mind this is a 4 minute tracking shot! All that had to happen is for the wind cannons to blow her hair into her mouth once or for her to flub even a part of a word and they would have to do it all over again!

  7. p.... g....

    2019¡!¡!

  8. C.... C....

    Saw this show at a Thespian festival at Vestavia hills high school on Birmingham Alabama. Here in 2019. I had a chamce to go and meet all the actors.....i didnt for some reason. That may be one of the worst mistakes ive EVER made. Yall put on the best show ive ever seen, great singing, great dancing, great acting, awesome costumes, and a larger than life stage prescence from the main actress. She was beautiful too

  9. M.... R....

    This is a special song in many ways 5 stars is what I,m giving

  10. A.... T....

    I've seen this movie on cinema, by 1981 (I was only ten... went alone to the movie)... and since then, I am in love with a Goddess! When I be in heaven, I will meet her!

  11. J.... S....

    This is actually a good song, why was it nominated for Worst Original Song?

  12. M.... T....

    I wonder if others have mused their life partners into their lives.

    It sounds unbelievable but my partner and I did just that -
    I used to draw a picture of a woman in a dress covered with cherries all over it and I mused that it was me grown up.... I called it cherry lady 🍒

    My partner mused he would spend his life with a girl from nz and I was conceived in a small town called Lyttelton in NZ.

    At 14... our eyes locked at nighttime near the beach and was instant electricity. Years later I walked into the back yard at a party and our eyes locked in lust again. Then years later we had a friendly banter and much around right over a friends telephone at a party and sparks flew when oh right hands touched play fighting with the phone

    Four years after our eyes first met we united and it turns out his surname is CHERRY 🍒
    I'm his cherry lady of 22 yrs ...23 on the 8th of September - I think the 8 is our eternity 💕

  13. J.... D....

    2019 y seguirá siendo tan escuchada

  14. R.... G....

    Always thought that they should have released this as a single

  36. G.... J....

  37. s.... ....

    Batshit crazy movie, but still has some great music XD

  38. D.... S....

    I meant ONJ as a gf.

  39. m.... s....

    classic

  40. C.... R....

    BEAUTIFUL
    So many MEMORIES
    SOME Good
    AND SOME Bad

  41. T.... D....

    FANTONOMISK

  42. R.... E....

    This was one of the best movie soundtracks EVER!!  I remember being a child watching this movie....E.L.O. was brilliant and Olivia with her magnificent voice.  Great memories!  <3

  43. E.... 1....

    Terrible movie, great soundtrack.

  44. M.... M....

    This movie is not what you would say my generation likes but I don't care...my dad showed me this movie when I was like maybe 4 or 5 (that was 2004 or '05) and it has been one of my favorite movies ever since. Keep it on replay and I will just watch it over and over again. I like the songs from the older gen more...I feel that songs before express more romance than the songs now and I'm definitely a romantic person. Lots of love to Olivia 💖💖

  45. n.... S....

    Olivia, do a new song with jeff lynne!

  46. W.... L....

    one of my favourite songs till this day

  47. s.... r....

    Need something like this again today. Just watched songs again and made me feel fantastic. BRING BACK THE MOVIE TO THE FULL SCREEN. This generation would love it. Livvy, E L O., what more could you want. Go Livvy we miss you downunder. Sue Sydney

  48. O.... N....

    💕😍😍😍😍

  49. T.... R....

    She looks and sounds angelic here, as she did throughout the movie. I still remember when I saw this movie as a kid. I wanted to be just like her.

  50. M.... L....

    I seen the movie in the early 80"s

  51. f.... g....

    When Sonny went back to earth he yelled out "Kira!" it was like Goodbye Iam not far away from you. It is such a sad yet lovely song.

  52. T.... S....

    Only Olivia Newton John could carry a movie scene by simply standing on a blank movie set and singing.

    T.... S....

    I'd never thought of it like that, but it's so true. Her beauty and vocal talent is all that's needed.

  53. W.... S....

    Please, cancer. Don't take this one. Please.

    W.... S....

    You're begging a disease to spare your false idol. Um . . . may I suggest God?

  54. D.... T....

    I watched this movie and grease since I was 2 I'm 18 and still love it

  55. g.... ....

    she has the voice of an Angel!

  56. M.... K....

    In this video and at that distinct point in time, she was the most beautiful woman in the world to me and I was totally in love with her......... at 13....

  57. W.... S....

    The closest I'll ever come to having Olivia make love to me,,,,this is her very best.

  58. W.... ....

    This is one of Olivia's best songs! I find that her performance of this song is one of the best parts of the movie. Enduring and passionate. It really is suspended in time.

    W.... ....

    Willcomet I think she is pleading to Zeus to make her mortal cause shes in love.

  59. H.... M....

    one of my all time fav movies

  60. M.... ....

    alguien x favor me traduzca al español suspended in time, gracias

  61. W.... N....

    My favorite movie of all time. Not to everyones taste but I must have seen it hundreds of times.

  62. M.... ....

    When HQ is actually LowQ.

  63. C.... G....

    Second only to Agnetha Faltskog of Abba. I love Olivia's voice.

  64. C.... G....

    I would love to see this film in a movie theater. I was only 10 when it came out.

  65. C.... G....

    I love the movie as well, but yes the soundtrack is one of my favoirtes. Definitely in the top 10 of all time. I love Olivia Newton John in this film. This was her best look.

  66. D.... T....

    It cost me $2 for a weeknight showing of Xanadu when it came out. Movies would run for several weeks if they were doing good... I saw this movie every night for almost 2 weeks when I was 12 y/o... She was singing to me :P LOVE love love her :)

    D.... T....

    Well played with the movies. Grease always makes me smile like it did the first time. I love singing to Xanady! Olivia has been my favorite singer since I first heard her voice on the radio at age seven in the early 70s, and will always be. A gift to the world!

  67. A.... F....

    i got the film on DVD.

  68. R.... V....

    not a great movie but brilliant soundtrack.

    R.... V....

    BLASPHEMY

    R.... V....

    Cult classic right here!! Loved it!!

  69. S.... R....

    I hadn't seen this movie since the early eighties. It was on tv last night and it made me sooooooooooooooo happy.. The acting is terrible and the concept is corny and it's utterly brilliant.

    S.... R....

    Charity Channing My ex husband and I used to pick on Sonnys lines. Especially " Would you like that ?" When he asks if he can see her again. But we love the soundtrack

    S.... R....

    Classic movie. We need movies like this again

    S.... R....

    Medium fireeyes

    S.... R....

    You right in everything you said and it brings tears too my eyes thinking of members of my family that was alive then but not now!

  70. L.... K....

    i loved the movie xanadu

  71. B.... ....

    Major crush on ONJ back in grade school. Always loved her music.

    B.... ....

    everyone was crushing on ONJ

  72. O.... C....

    I grew up with a drag queen for a father.. I fell in love with this music and here I am 21 years old and learning drag, first song I ever did a lipsync to was this it was difficult to hit the pitch with an already awkward voice those.

    O.... C....

    Word up

  73. u.... ....

    And I thought angels only lived in heaven.

    u.... ....

    :) Earth Angels exist

  74. Z.... M....

    I wouldn't be who I a today without her.
    Vanessa Carlton born the year this was done.
    I know you're thinking how dare I notice such a thing.

  75. G.... C....

    les arrnement c est exellent

  76. P.... J....

    I can see why this song was nominated for a Razzy. It's a nice song, but it's effusive as fuck.

    P.... J....

    It's an emotional song, sung emotionally, so not sure what you're point is?

  77. b.... c....

    i sadly have to admit this is my favorite movie if all time. ..all for the musical scenes of course...but yea i said it

    b.... c....

    +HeartOfSky DCUO same

    b.... c....

    +Andrew E lol u 2 dear

    b.... c....

    +Andrew E I love this movie too. it's ok Olivia was gorgeous

    b.... c....

    brittanay chesser Hi Brittany cheeser it's me again Andrew and I needed to be suspended in time. This song is so completely thoughtful that I come back here when I need to interrupt the day anyway just thought I would say hello.

    b.... c....

    i loved it so much, i was a child and had it recorded on vhs tape, watched it every day

  78. R.... ....

    Terrible movie.  Good music, though.

    R.... ....

    +RoulinBrooks Sooooo much better than Roller Boogie. Xanadu will forever be underappreciated.

    R.... ....

    Its only a terrible movie if you expect a huge lot. In "art" there are always two types: the one which tries to tell you something and the banal "this is fun" stuff. If you put it in the latter category the movie becomes just as brilliant because it provides the framework for the music. Just take it as an extra long music video "with bits inbetween the songs" and it will improve a lot.

    R.... ....

    I Loved it !

  79. H.... C....

    I get a feeling Jeff Lynne didn't write all these songs, is this one of them ?

    H.... C....

    +Harry Clams Yep. John Farrar wrote any and all non-ELO songs in the movie.

    H.... C....

    +Harry Clams Jeff Lynne wrote none of the Olivia Newton-John songs (except Xanadu itself, which was a collaboration between ELO and ONJ).

  80. S.... N....

    Hermosa canción sigo siendo tu fan

  81. J.... D....

    the chorus in this song is so beautiful...

    J.... D....

    +Harry Clams yes...

    J.... D....

    +Harry Clams no

    J.... D....

    Javan DeLozier
    I Agree, I also LOVE, the CONCEPT.
    HOMELESS...
    NOWHERE FOR MY HEART TO LAND, TO REST.
    LOVE THIS ENTIRE SONG, as a Songwriter, & Singer, myself.
    BRILLIANT PERFECTION

    thank you! im so happy someone still appreciates such glorious beauty!

    Keep me suspended in time with you ❤

     A child and a fool in one
    So sure I could need no one
    My heart always on the run to nowhere
    Now as you're holding me
    My heart is reminding me
    That I could never be without you

    But how can our love succeed
    A miracle is what we need
    And so I appeal to you
    To keep me suspended in time with you
    Don't let this moment die
    I get a feeling when I'm with you
    None of the rules apply
    But I know for certain
    Goodbye is a crime
    So love if you need me
    Suspend me in time
    Time
     But how can our love succeed
    A miracle is what we need
    And so I appeal to you
    To keep me suspended in time with you
    Don't let this moment die
    I get a feeling when I'm with you
    None of the rules apply
    But I know for certain
    Goodbye is a crime
    So love if you need me
    Suspend me in time
    In time ❤

    I know what you mean, Patrick. Life is so full of troubles and then we listen to this song, performed by such a beautiful human being, and our hearts melt. Olivia is magical.

  89. S.... I....

    Essa musica me faz lembrar da minha adolescência na década de 80 inesquecível.

  90. G.... J....

    Olivia's look and voice are haunting!  God I hate that!  You get an image and a voice stuck in your mind and romanticize it, replaying it over and over!  Being a romantic can be depressing!

    G.... J....

    George John Your preaching to the choir ❤

  91. J.... P....

    I love this woman! Always have, always will. Pure talent and beauty. 

  92. B.... H....

    Entièrement d'accord avec cette toi. La trame sonre de Xanadu est excellente, mais cette balade, avait sa place. Cette chanson méritait mieux, que d'être relayé aux oubliettes.  (Y)

  93. D.... P....

    The voice of an angel and the beauty to match. Olivia, you are awesome. Hugs and kisses from the UK. XX

    D.... P....

    @Darren Pearsall Indeed an angel she is.

    The pinnacle of beauty, grace and talent are so apparent here.Five stars!!!

    What could be so wrong about this song for it to deserve to even be nominated for a Razzie? It can't be that bad... at least it didn't "win."

    R.... M....

    +Ricky M Critics hated the movie ... and this song is at the core part of that movie.

    R.... M....

    +Ricky M Its just the connection with the movie ... which critics and audience did not like. The story was cheap and so was the acting, but then it was just meant to be a vessel to connect and show the songs and the number of brilliant songs has made Xanadu a real cult movie.

  97. M.... V....

    So beautiful!
