A Total Eclipse of the Sun
There she was behind the counter
When I saw her, she took me by surprise
Ten years had passed since our brief encounter
When I got caught with the sun in my eyes
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
On that hot summer day, she blew me away
In a total eclipse of the sun
I went there to buy a Christmas trinket
I never thought I could find such a face
The way she said goodbye, who would think it
Would haunt me in this holiday place
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
She rolled back the years to the pain and the tears
Of that total eclipse of the sun
In that July back in '63
She sent my word crashing down around me
I learned to fear what a woman can do
When she's tired of listening to you
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
She shot her gun and watched my blood run
In a total eclipse of the sun
Her makeup was flawless
Her clothes were tailored
She smiled with holiday cheer
Back then I was poor, but now I was rich
And still I stood frozen with fear
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
That girl burned me twice, turned me to ice
In a total eclipse of the sun
She invited me to her folks' summer home
And when I got there, she told me goodbye
I stayed the next day and she stayed away
While the sun burned a hole in my eye
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
There was no doubt, I was blacked out
In a total eclipse of the sun
Colorful Christmas lights were blinking
And the snow turned everything white
The minute I saw her I stared thinking
Of that painful sunbeam of light
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
She was the infliction of my crucifixion
In a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
I remember that day when they all looked away
From a total eclipse of the sun
When I saw her, she took me by surprise
Ten years had passed since our brief encounter
When I got caught with the sun in my eyes
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
On that hot summer day, she blew me away
In a total eclipse of the sun
I went there to buy a Christmas trinket
I never thought I could find such a face
The way she said goodbye, who would think it
Would haunt me in this holiday place
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
She rolled back the years to the pain and the tears
Of that total eclipse of the sun
In that July back in '63
She sent my word crashing down around me
I learned to fear what a woman can do
When she's tired of listening to you
It was a total eclipse of the sun
Total eclipse of the sun
She shot her gun and watched my blood run
In a total eclipse of the sun
Her makeup was flawless
Her clothes were tailored
She smiled with holiday cheer
Back then I was poor, but now I was rich
And still I stood frozen with fear
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
That girl burned me twice, turned me to ice
In a total eclipse of the sun
She invited me to her folks' summer home
And when I got there, she told me goodbye
I stayed the next day and she stayed away
While the sun burned a hole in my eye
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
There was no doubt, I was blacked out
In a total eclipse of the sun
Colorful Christmas lights were blinking
And the snow turned everything white
The minute I saw her I stared thinking
Of that painful sunbeam of light
It was a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
She was the infliction of my crucifixion
In a total eclipse of the sun
A total eclipse of the sun
I remember that day when they all looked away
From a total eclipse of the sun
