Total Eclipse of the Heart

"Total Eclipse of the Heart"   written by Jim Steinman


Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never 
 coming round
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
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see
 the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless 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
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry 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
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround 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 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

INSTRUMENTAL

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always
 wanted to be
Turnaround, Every now then I know you'll always be 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 wonderous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's
 nothing that I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround 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'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
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
