Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Radio Version)
Bonnie Tyler · Other Songs - Bonnie Tyler
and you're never coming round...
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit tired,
of listening to the sound of my tears...
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous,
that the best of all the years have gone by...
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified,
and then I see the look in your eyes...
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight,
And I need you more than ever,
And if you 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
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 to start tonight
Forever's gonna to 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
(Big Instrumental)
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight,
And I need you more than ever,
And if you 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
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 to start tonight
Forever's gonna to start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
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 my heart
A total eclipse of my heart
(repeat till fades)
