TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
Bonnie Tyler
(J. Steinman)

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And you're never comin' round

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit tired
Of list'ning to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Ev'ry now and then
I fall apart;

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Ev'ry now and then 
I fall apart

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit restless
And I dream of somethin' wild

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit angry
And I know I gotta get out and cry

(Turn around)
Ev'ry now and then
I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Ev'ry now and then
I fall apart.

REFRAIN:
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 make 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 livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time
I was fallin' in love
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

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Ev'ry now and then
I fall apart.

REFRAIN:
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 make 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 livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time
I was fallin' in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes, turn around)...
