Lyrics:

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

Such a beautiful version. They don't make music like this anymore.

An eighties classic. Loved Ultravox as a teenager and this is the first time I've heard an acoustic of this song.

[jennytaylor]

This stuff will never get old. Thinking of this band only yesterday, and how they mastered the synths and new technology of the era in the '80s. Grew up with their sound in my ears, and bought my first Ultravox CD in my 20s, back in the '90s. Been returning to them ever since, so it's interesting to hear old numbers re-worked. I think there will always be an Ultravox song playing somewhere in my brain!

... beyond beautiful, and just surreal how under-appreciated these four are on the 80s landscape of important bands & their talents, such beautiful Billy Currie keys, this truly brings a hope for this box set

[ErmukTati]

Цела старэе, але ж душа, каханне 70-80х жыве вечна!
Дзякуй Мідж за цуд і “новую хвалю”!✨👏👏👏

[DanielWilliams-bmxt]

Fantastic surprise, and absolutely lovely.

[suelashomb]

Have never heard this version! Awesome! 🙏

[thefrozenone]

Wow. That version is so simple and yet so hauntingly beautiful.
Somehow makes the video even more emotionally gut-wrenching.
Just stunning.

[activeautos]

Bloody hell that was great, almost like a new release for me. Billy is the best

[davidmoncada]

Ultravox another of my favorite bands, greetings from Mèxico City

[ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

This is beautiful. After all these years, I get to hear the bits of Billy's playing that got lost for me in the mix. Thanks for this.

[DundeeBhoy]

One of those releases that has me with about 10% of the views, this just shows how good Midge is.

[CC.]

Midge's spectacular vocals come through more clearly in this version...just profound. Thank you for this and your body of work.

[dannydoody]

Wow... 40yrs on and still gets me... This song matures like fine wine ❤

[Davoxx]

Exciting version of this Ultravox, classic!!!

[rarotonga-paul]

[closethemoon]

Decades later and this song still gives me goosebumps. And tears in my eyes.

[giuseppevirgilio]

Stupenda versione di una bellissima canzone di una grande band sempre I migliori gli Ultravox

[eckerry]

Stunning. Billy is a once in a lifetime talent.

[Wendy-cjyz]

Beautiful and very dramatic. Moving as well. Given what is happening in the world politically at the moment, very much needed reminder of how careful we must be. ❤❤❤
