Blurb:
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a power ballad written, composed, and produced by Jim Steinman, inspired by the classic novel, Wuthering Heights. It was originally performed by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler in 1983. It has been covered several times, and rewritten (with Michael Kunze) for the musical Tanz der Vampire as "Totale Finsternis".
It is probably Steinman's most successful commercial composition to date and Bonnie Tyler's most successful song, going to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and number one in Canada, Australia and the UK singles chart. At its peak, it sold 60,000 copies per day, and approximately 5-6 million copies in total, and was number one throughout (almost) the entire world charts according to Bonnie Tyler's greatest hits manual. It is therefore widely considered not just a hit, but a "smash hit".

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'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
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, but 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 and there's nothing 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
Well 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
