(on the "can't stop lovin' you" cd single)
I reach across to the other side
To make contact with you
Golden slumber, you fill my dreams
When (and? ) I make contact with you, oh
Don't ask me why I'm crossing over
Oh, crossing over
Sammy: eddie:
I never got to ? what's it all about?
Really know you is there a way... out...
The way I want to now outta here
So many things i... i'm like the rest;
I didn't tell you seeking an answer
I wanna tell you now
Tell me why, oh lord but why, why, why, why?
You're crossing over why? why?

(I gotta bring you back... to see your face)
Oh, crossing over
(I wanna hear you call my name, (to) feel your touch)
Reaching out, reaching out
(hear your voice again)
(to hear your voice again)
Crossing over
(to feel your touch)
Reaching out
(to feel you)
Crossing over
(to feel)
Crossing over
(to feel)
Reaching out, reaching out
Crossing over

Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
