Total Eclipse Of The Heart Lyrics

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

TURN AROUND 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 list ning 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 the I fall apart.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and the I fall apart.

TURN AROUND Every now and then I get a little bit restless
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
but then I see the look in your eyes.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and the I fall apart.
TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES Every now and the 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.

         TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES
         TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES

TURN AROUND Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy
you always wanted to be.
TURN AROUND But every now and then I know you'll always be
the only boy who wanted me the way that I am.
TURN AROUND Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe
as magical and wondrous as you.
TURN AROUND Every now and then I know there's nothing any better,
there's nothing that I just wouldn't do.
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...

   Once upon a time I was...

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

                - Jim Steinman
