Lyrics of Total Eclipse of the Heart (Long Version) by Bonnie Tyler

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 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
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 to start tonight
Forever's gonna to start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling 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
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 and 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 wondrous as you
Turnaround, every now and then
I know there′s nothing any better, 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, 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
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
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around
