    Lyrics
    Hearts gone astray, leaving hurt when they go
    I went away, just when you, you need me so
    You won't regret, I come back beggin' you
    Won't you forget, welcome love we once knew
    Open up your eyes then you realize, here I stand with my everlasting love
    Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
    You'll never be denied, everlasting love
    From the very start, open up your heart
    Be a lasting part of everlasting love
    Need a love to last forever
    Need a love to last forever
    Where life's river flows, no one really knows 'til someone's there to show the way to lasting love
    Like the sun that shines, endlessly it shines
    You always will be mine, it's eternal love
    When ever love went wrong, ours would still be strong
    We'll have our very own everlasting love
    Need a love to last forever
    Need a love to last forever
    Open up your eyes then you realize, here I stand with my everlasting love
    Need you by my side, girl to be my bride (Need a love to last forever)
    You'll never be denied, everlasting love (Need a love to last forever)
    From the very start, open up your heart (Need a love to last forever)
    Be a lasting part of everlasting love (Need a love to last forever)
    When ever love went wrong, ours would still be strong (Need a love to last forever)
    We'll have our very own everlasting love (Need a love to last forever)

    The singer, Steve Ellis, was only 17 years old when he sang this in 1967. I'm 73, same age as him, and feel so lucky to have grown up with the greatest music of all time!

      No they didn't. Lol. The Beatles 'Hello Goodbye' had been at number 1 for 2 months, and finally slid down with 'the Ballad Of Bonnie and Clyde' by Georgie Fame replacing them at number 1. 'Everlasting Love' bumped Georgie Fame off the top spot the week after that, not the Beatles.

      The instrumental is pre recorded in a studio by studio musicians , the guys in this clip didn't play any instruments.

The music was usually recorded by studio musicians, such as The Wrecking Crew. The band members only used for publicity to sell records

    My all time favourite song. I was 20 when Steve was 18, I’ve always loved his performance in the song. I’m at an age now that I hate seeing people in pictures and videos showing them young when I was young. All of us who were around at that time are old now and our time is almost up, for many it is. Our era was so good compared to today. I feel sorry for our kids and their kids, there is so much more shit going on in the world today. I miss our time in the 70s and wish I could live it again, knowing what I know now. There’s a quote I try to live by now, “To have no regrets tomorrow - be wise today” I wish I could be in that time forever.
    The stunning girl dancing was Susan Matthews, I wonder where she is now- does anyone know?
    The chaplinesque dancer is Delores Schmidinger - famous at the time in her native Holland.
    It's such a shame that we don't write and record songs like that anymore. It is so good and brings back so many good memories of my youth. For me, the sad thing about the video is that everyone was so young, and at that time so was I. I'm a really good 75 years old now and my wife of 50 years at 70 is just as good. A person below said to all the youth, "enjoy life - like we did - while you are young", from personal experience he is so right. Turning 50 was ok, turning 60 wasn't well accepted, suddenly after that 60th birthday, time sped up and suddenly I was 75, shit I think it happened when I blinked.
    Appreciate every minute of your youth because life is like a toilet roll, it runs out faster at the end - it's so sad that everyone in that video is old now, maybe some are dead. Still a great song

    I'm here because 1969 in Belfast was my childhood. I'm the same age as Ken and lived about 6 streets away from where he lived. This movie means so much to me. It's my childhood wonderful but terrifying at the same time. I remember this song as a child and reminds me of my childhood years, in the streets of Belfast. To be honest the sense of community back then was second to none. We all looked out for each other. That's gone now. No more sense of community.
    It definitely takes a village (community) to raise a child. Well done Ken and all the cast of Movie Belfast.

    I'm from America and this is the first time I heard this chart topping UK version from late 1967. Much different from the original Robert Knight production. Most people in the US and Canada remember the soulful and dramatically building Carl Carlton 1974 Top Ten hit. Other major hit versions exist BUT this is certainly one of the best versions ever made....Bravo.

    I never knew that Steve Ellis was a Lad of but only 17 years when he created this perfect Pop Song. I had always imagined he was much older, going by the quality of his voice. I wonder how many young singers have given their best whilst still in their teens? I'm thinking of Rose-Ann Rheims, with "What'll I do?" Oh Happy Days, the 60s & 70s, gone forever, but they will forever remain in my Heart!
