"Lost In Your Eyes" (Atlantic 88970; Atlantic UK A8970; Atlantic Japan 10P3-6057) is the sixth single from American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson, and the first from her second album Electric Youth (LP 81932). Released in late 1988, the love ballad climbed to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and remained there for three weeks, becoming her most successful single. Additionally, "Lost" reached number three on the Billboard Hot Contemporary chart. The song had been written by Gibson in late 1987 and published by Creative Bloc Music, Ltd. and Deborah Ann's Music in early 1988 (rights now administered by Music Sales Corporation (ASCAP)); a beta arrangement had been performed on the Out of the Blue Tour.

One variant mixed from the original multitrack, "Lost in Your Eyes" (Piano and Vocal Mix/3:34), was only available in Europe as Track 3 of the CD3 release #A8970CD.

[edit] The Remake of 2006

In 2006, Gibson rearranged her hit song with Tim and Ryan O'Neill for the O'Neill Brothers album Someone You Love, where the resulting "Lost in Your Eyes (Acoustic Version)" became an album track.
