Everlasting Love (Howard Jones song)

"Everlasting Love" is a song by English singer and songwriter Howard Jones from his fourth studio album, Cross That Line (1989). Written by Jones, it was released as the album's first single on 20 February 1989.

The song reached No. 12 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the early summer of that year, and also peaked at No. 19 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, the first of only two singles to appear there. It also spent two weeks at No. 1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, the singer's second chart-topper on this tally (following "No One Is to Blame" from 1986). In his native UK, where Jones had enjoyed numerous pop hits, "Everlasting Love" failed to have as much of an impact as earlier singles, stalling at No. 62 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was co-produced by ex-Tears for Fears band member Ian Stanley.
