Remarks:
One of my favourite U2 songs, probably because it is one of my favourite songs even apart from U2: I have already posted the 1967 Robert Knight song that it is a cover of. I also like the 1974 Carl Carlton cover. It is probably best known in Britain as a 1968 song by Love Affair. That is a good one too. The Gloria Estefan cover (1995) is terrible.
This went to #2 in Australia and #10 in the Netherlands in 1990. It did not chart in the US.
There is a video of this song that shows Bono with his wife, but he seems happier in the video above where he is with The Edge.

Lyrics:
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won’t regret
I’ll come back begging you
Don’t you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah
Open up your eyes
Then you’ll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You’ll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you’ve got
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won’t regret it
I’ll come back begging you
Don’t you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah
When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We’d have our own
Everlasting love
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Open up your eyes
Then you’ll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you’ve got
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love

I like the Carl Carlton version the best, although Robert Knight wins the Cute Award:
The font in the video above reminded me of a video featuring another of my favorite U2 songs (besides Stuck in a Moment): their cover of Unchained Melody. It turns out both videos were posted by the same person.
