Total Eclipse of The Heart
Westlife · The Love Album [2006]
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely,
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 (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 tonigh
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 do
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit breathless,
and I dream of something wild...
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless,
and I'm lying like a child in your arms...
Turn around...
Every now and then I get a little bit angry,
and I know i've got to get out and cry
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)
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight (And if you only)
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right (We will make it)
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line (Uhhh)
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (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
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Total Eclipse of The Heart - Westlife
Westlife's "Total Eclipse of The Heart" serves as a dynamic reimagining of the classic 1983 rock anthem, delivered through the group's signature polished pop-rock arrangement. Released on their 2006 compilation album, The Love Album, the track exemplifies the band's ability to reinterpret iconic material while maintaining their distinct vocal harmonies and melodic sensibilities. The recording features the members' characteristic blend of rock and pop, showcasing their versatility as a group that frequently collaborated with established artists to create new versions of timeless songs. This particular track became a staple in the band's live performances and radio play, reinforcing their status as one of the most successful pop-rock acts of the mid-2000s. It stands as a testament to their discography's focus on high-energy, crowd-pleasing anthems that bridged the gap between their earlier ballad-heavy era and their later rock-oriented sound.
