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 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

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)
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

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 say—a total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
