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
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 [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
