"Total Eclipse of the Heart" lyrics
by Bonnie Tyler
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired
and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by
that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild
and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms
and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry
and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes
but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll never be
the boy you always you wanted to be
the boy you always you wanted to be
Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll always be
the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, every now and then I know there's no one
in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turnaround, every now and then I know there's nothing any better
and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a song written and produced by Jim Steinman and recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for her fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night. Released as a single in 1983, it was the first release from the album and became Tyler's biggest hit.The power ballad remains Tyler's most successful song, peaking at No. 1 in the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. At its peak, it sold 60,000 copies per day, and approximately 6 million copies in total. It won the Variety Club award in the UK for best single of 1983. The song also made number 82 of VH1's top 100 love songs. According to Meat Loaf, Steinman had given the song, along with "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)", to Meat Loaf for his album Midnight at the Lost and Found; however, Meat Loaf's record company refused to pay for Steinman and he wrote separate songs himself. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was then given to Bonnie Tyler and "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" to Air Supply. The song's melody originally appeared as part of the soundtrack for the 1980 film A Small Circle of Friends.(source: Wikipedia)
