Stewart, Rod - Here To Eternity Lyrics
On a hot summer's night
In the year of '75
Jimmy Doyle took his child bride
Amanda, for a drive
She was only seventeen
Their commitment to each other
Burned like a forest fire
Otis on the radio singing "Stand By Me"
As a trooper pulled them over
And said Jimmy where you been
Someone matching your description
Has just robbed the liquor store
Amanda said "He's been with me"
But they weren't listening anymore
Down at Precinct Number Five
They questioned Jimmy through the night
The sheriff said "He's gotta stand trial"
Armed robbery is the charge
Amanda said "This cannot be"
Gonna stay right here until you set him free
And I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
The old courthouse was crowded
As the judge reviewed the case
In a year of re-election
He was desperate to impress
Innocent or guilty
He saw an opportunity
To send Jimmy down for life
To the Penitentiary
Disbelief and anger
As they dragged him away
In a cell below the courthouse
They beat him like a slave
But his use of martial arts
Struck a blow for liberty
Felled a guard with a fist of iron
And killed him instantly
All the press surrounded Amanda
Coming down the courthouse steps
Pleading for her young man's life
And in a moment seen by millions
She bowed her head and cried
Show my man some mercy
He's the father of my child
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
I love him
Here to eternity
Jimmy Doyle appeared again
In a second public trail
For the murder of a prison guard
They sentenced him to die
But Amanda with her long red hair
Made one last plea
As the court fell into silence
She cried out desperately
This man of mine is innocent
As one day I shall prove
It's an open case of self defense
All this circumstantial evidence
You place before your court
Has robbed me of my husband
Forget I will not
I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh goodbye my Jimmy
'Til we meet again
In a better world than this
I swear I'll clear your name
'Cos I love you
Here to eternity

Boa música perfeita saudades dessa época 1986 eu tinha 16 anos de idade curtindo muito essa música saudade desse tempo que não volta mais saudades
Adoro tbm. Eu tinha 14 anos. Fechava os olhos e viajava nessa linda música.
moody as fuck....class
my fave from the master
Great song from the master Storyteller.
the best song of rod
ich liebe diesen S o n g.😍
I don't know why this song wasn't more popular it's one of my favorites apparently not one of rods favs. It wasn't on any greatest hits and didn't do it much in concert I saw him3 x's in the 80s actually loved that whole album - every beat of my heart-1986----I think I found it on 1 other album it was a double album I don't think it's available anymore
this a great song great story line
love this song
I love to listen to it on a streaming music service in best quality!
And never forget a few Tempos or Kleenex for the eyeswater …
Amanda pleading "I swear I´ll clear your name some day!"
At last: "I love you! From here to eternity! Until we meet again - in a better world than this!"
Words like "streaming music service" and "quality" just can't go together.......Try vinyl or at least cd.......
Great song! Thank for sharing! Rod is a Amazing Singer, FACT! 🎼🎤🎵😄🥁 🇸🇪
Das Lied nehm ich Rod Steward überhaupt nicht ab..Mit seinen ganzen Frauen,die immer jünger werden
Nun singt z.B. Stevie Wonder in Superstition "There are superstitious writings on the wall"
Nehm´ ich ihm nicht ab! Kann er ja gar nicht gesehen haben!
Und trotzdem ist es einer seiner größten Erfolge 1972 (Platz 90 der Rolling Stone 500, Goldene in GB)!
Ein Sänger muß ja nicht alles selbst erlebt haben!
Für mich ist unbegreiflich, warum "From here to eternity" so unbekannt ist!
Ich finde es eines seiner schönsten Lieder! Regelmäßig bekomme ich Augenwasser, wenn Amanda sich (mehrmals im Refrain, aber letztmalig) zur Presse beugt und ein letztes Mal fleht: "Ich liebe ihn! Von hier bis in alle Ewigkeit! Für immer! Bis wir uns wiedersehen - in einer besseren Welt als dieser!"
So many good songs ... but yes , this is right up there !! .... sad story ... probably a true story .... hard to make that stuff up ...
Really GREAT song, beautiful ! Love it very much!!i!i!! Thanx for posting .'-))
i 💘 u Rodstewart
i 💘 u Rodstewart
Fantastic
This song is so sad, it fucks me up every time I hear it. Why's it have to be so good!
I like this song like the beat of the drums.
And I'm fully agreed with P. Stewart why not video for such a fucking so good music? why? why? why?
30 years before I heard it in Turkey for the first time & I'm listening to it till now! I love it! I love it! l love it! here to eternity!
Until we meet again - in a better world than this!
Why didn't they make a video for this classic. Every time I hear this Song I can picture the video. It would became a Classic. Right?
Phesadgra Steward m
tema encantador muy bueno.
This song is such a touching song, when you clearly hear the lyrics you will weep. i would say it the best of all of Rod's songs
Jovin Yang its a great song... but not the best of all... so many more songs... your the starr, when i need you, baby jane , muddy sam otis... tonights the night , when a mans in love... theres loadss!! id be here all day with song of his that are just as good as this one
Apart from the title track (Every beat of my heart, 1986) this is my favourite track from that great album. So underrated!
i love this song so much, i met my ex-wife earlier!
the old courthouse was crowded as they dragged him away..ooooohhhhhh
thank you. i've always loved this underappreciated song.
Hope you realize this song was written by Dick Wagner. Alice Cooper's buddy.
brightandsunny9 Sorry but you're wrong. It was written by Rod Stewart/Kevin Savigar.
brightandsunny9 Dick Wagner is nowhere on this album.
Absolutely brilliant song. I suddenly thought of it yesterday and couldn't remember the name. A friend of mine remembered it for me and now I'm listening to your track. Awesome song. Gives me shivers.
AMANDA AND JIMMY ARE FREAKING LEGENDS
Early Thanksgiving morning back in 86, i wrecked my car with this song playing in the cassette deck. That night would alter my life forever, mostly physically. Two hips and an ankle later.....and I will never forget this song. I'm now 44 years old, married, two kids and this old song still has so much meaning. Thanks for posting it. It's nice to see other people appreciate it also.
Till we meet again in a better world than this
I AM A MAJOR ROD STEWART FAN GOING BACK TO .. LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL THIS ALBUM IS FILLED WITH STORIES OF LOVE FRAGILITY TRAGEDY ENLIGHTENMENT ROD'S STYLE .. FEEL SORRY FOR WHOM EVER DIDN'T OWN IT .. ESPECIALLY ROD FAN'S
