Over My Heart es un álbum de Laura Branigan, publicado en 1993 por Atlantic. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «How Can I Help You to Say Goodbye», «The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye», «Over My Heart» y «It's Been Hard Enough Getting Over You».
Sobre el álbum
"Over My Heart", de 1993, es el último álbum de estudio lanzado en vida de la artista, y una obra que enriquece de forma emotiva la discografía de Laura Branigan. En este trabajo, la cantante presenta un sonido de pop adulto muy pulido, con una colección de baladas y medios tiempos que destacan por su elegancia y su carga emocional.
El álbum tiene un tono más íntimo y reflexivo. La producción es sutil y se centra en crear el ambiente perfecto para que la voz de Laura Branigan, más madura y llena de matices, sea la gran protagonista. El disco se aleja por completo de la energía de sus éxitos de los 80.
El trabajo muestra a una artista en pleno control de su arte. Pese a que la industria musical había cambiado drásticamente, Branigan se mantiene fiel a un estilo basado en la calidad de la canción y la excelencia vocal. Es un álbum de una gran integridad.
"Over My Heart" es un canto de cisne de una gran belleza. Es un trabajo que, si bien pasó desapercibido en su momento, es un testimonio de la increíble clase y el inmenso talento de una de las grandes voces de su generación. Por lo tanto, es una obra que merece ser redescubierta y valorada.

- How Can I Help You to Say Goodbye
Letra
Through the back window of our '59 wagon I watched my best friend Jamie slipping further away I kept on waving till I couldn't see her And through my tears I asked again why we couldn't stay Mama whispered softly "Time will ease your pain" "Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same" And she said "How can I help you to say goodbye" "It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry" "Come let me hold you and I will try" "How can I help you to say goodbye" I sat on our bed he packed his suitcase I held a picture of our wedding day His hands were trembling we both were crying He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away I called up mama she said "Time will ease your pain" "Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same" And she said "How can I help you to say goodbye" "It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry" "Come let me hold you and I will try" "How can I help you to say goodbye" Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand She said "I have to go now my time here is over" And with her final words she tried to help me understand Mama whispered softly "Time will ease your pain" "Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same" And she said "How can I help you to say goodbye" "It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry" "Come let me hold you and I will try" "How can I help you to say goodbye" - The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
Letra
Red like fire was the day I met you I tell you now, there are no regrets In this room there are many memories Some are good, some I try to forget I thought we were the chosen ones Who were supposed to fly We're very much the same, you and I The sweet hello, the sad goodbye Still waiting to get hurt, time after time The sweet hello, the sad goodbye When love lies in our hands, we seem to run and hide And I can't help but wonder why The sweet hello, the sad goodbye My heart was like a runaway train, babe I don't believe I've ever felt more alive In this room I hear voices linger We never talked about the price You know you're not the only one Who knows how to cry We're very much the same, you and I The sweet hello, the sad goodbye Still waiting to get hurt, time after time The sweet hello, the sad goodbye When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide And I can't help but wonder why The sweet hello, the sad goodbye We're very much the same, you and I The sweet hello, the sad goodbye Still waiting to get hurt, time after time The sweet hello, the sad goodbye When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide And I can't help but wonder why The sweet hello, the sad goodbye The sweet hello, the sad goodbye - Over My Heart
Letra
I've been burned by love, fooled by deception Though times have changed I still feel the pain I would hold back my true emotions And if someone got close I would change my direction You walked into the picture Right into my soul I knew from the first night together I never had a chance I'm in over my heart this time Don't know how I could be so blind I was playin' it safe, but I made a mistake Ignoring the danger signs I'm in over my heart, over my heart this time Well you told me you loved me I got lost for a minute Tangled in silence, nothing to say I was in love, but I didn't know it And the look on my face was a dead give away Then you walked into the picture Right into my soul I knew from the first night together I never had a chance I'm in over my heart this time And I can't get you out of my mind It's like I'm frozen in place and I just can't run away I'm in over my heart this time Don't know how I could be so blind I'm in over my heart Over my heart this time I'm in over my heart this time And I can't get you out of my mind I was playin' it safe, but I made a mistake Ignoring the danger signs I'm in over my heart, over my heart Over my heart... I'm in over my heart this time And I can't get you out of my mind I was playin' it safe, but I made a mistake I'm in over my heart this time And I can't get you out of my mind I was playin' it safe, but I made a mistake - It's Been Hard Enough Getting Over You

- Only Time Will Tell
Letra
We're all a mystery in this world in which we live And there's no guarantee that we'll get back what we give We take a chance on love a dream that lasts forever We're only flesh and blood Throwing coins in a wishing well Only time will tell if a love is true Only time will tell what a heart is gonna do Only time will tell who's the dreamer, who's the fool Only time will tell We tie the ties that bind with a simple act of faith No matter how we try we're in the hands of fate We take the gift of life and give it to each other We promise you and I a promise that we'll try to keep Only time will tell if a love is true Only time will tell what a heart is gonna do Only time will tell who's the dreamer, who's the fool Only time will tell We take the gift of life and give it to each other We promise you and I a promise that we'll try to keep Only time will tell if a love is true Only time will tell what a heart is gonna do Only time will tell who's the dreamer, who's the fool Only time will tell - I'll Wait for You
- Mujer Contra Mujer
Letra
Nada tienen de especial Dos mujeres que se dan la mano El matiz viene despues Cuando lo hacen por debajo del mantel Luego a solas sin nada que perder Tras las manos va el resto de la piel Un amor por ocultar Aunque en cueros no hay donde esconderlo Lo disfrazan de amistad Cuando sale a pasear por la ciudad Una opina que aquello no esta bien La otra opina que que se le va a hacer Y lo que opinen los demas esta de mas Quien detiene palomas al vuelo Volando a ras de suelo Mujer contra mujer No estoy yo por la labor De tirarles la primera piedra Si equivoco la ocasion Y las hallo labio en el salon Ni siquiera me atreveria a toser Si no gusto ya se lo que hay que hacer Que con mis piedras hacen ellas su pared Quien detiene palomas al vuelo Volando a ras de suelo Mujer contra mujer Una opina que aquello no esta bien La otra opina que que se le va a hacer Y lo que opinen los demas esta de mas Quien detiene palomas al vuelo Volando a ras de suelo Mujer contra mujer - Over You
Letra
I don't lose my breath When I hear a step on the stairway And my heart doesn't stop When I hear a knock at my door I say to myself it's just some old friend of mine I don't think for a moment, boy That you've changed your mind I'm over you I'm finally over you Just like you've gotten over me Just like you did so easily I'm over you This time I'm over you I really don't care what you do Just don't tell yourself I'm still in love with you Things have fallen in place And there's hardly a trace of you anywhere I've got too much to do To be thinking of you coming home And I don't expect that your turn will come to cry 'Cause after all, baby It was you who said goodbye I'm over you This time I'm really over you Just like you've gotten over me Just like you did so easily I'm over you This time I'm really over you I really don't care what you do Just don't tell yourself I'm still in love with you I'm over you This time I'm really over you I don't give a damn what you do Just don't tell yourself I'm still in love with you This time I'm over you I swear I'm really over you I really don't care what you do Just don't tell yourself I'm still in love with you - Mangwane (The Wedding Song)
