Total Eclipse of the Heart

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 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, Every now 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 wonderous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and 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 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

----Bonnie Tyler

  1. Sorry to say this one still makes me sort of sick when I hear it. I think that when it came out (in 1980 whatever) it was OK at first, but somewhere in the first 4 and a half million times it was played that month, I got exceedingly tired of it. It hasn't worn off yet.

  2. this song speaks to me in ways i can't explain. that's why i posted it. i can't help but cry when i hear it. i cried for 2 hours today over nothing. i felt my heart breaking all over again and i can't imagine as to why. and it was all over Hephaestus. I swore i'd never shed another tear for him but i did for 2 hours.

  3. Those wierd reverbs of emotions from the past just happen. I occasionally get them over stuff relating to my dad's death. They don't make a lot of sense.

    I can understand the song hitting some people - kind of the 'our song' thing for a couple or the wrenching angry song you listened to when you were in a particular bad spot. It was not either of those for me and the overplaying it got ruined it for me.

  4. The song has nothing to do with mine and Hephaestus's past relationship, it just egged on the tears even more since they were already falling. The actual song that started the whole tear falling episode was "September" by Faktion. Here are the lyrics:

    How did we get here?
    Dirty words and anger
    Is it about my fears?
    My stomach turns and I exhale
    There goes everything
    I finally said it this time
    I hope it burns you
    Like I envisioned in my mind

    Chorus:
    It’s like this I see you crying
    You’re ruined from throwing me away
    Our picture is torn into
    And it’s you who’s rearranged
    You’re falling to pieces
    And you’ll always remember my name
    You know it’s your fault
    So say it again, say my name

    Should I stay here?
    Trapped inside this vision
    I’m forced to overthrow the pain
    By poisoning my mind
    There goes everything
    I finally said it this time
    I hope it burns you
    Like I envisioned in my mind

    Repeat Chorus

    Now it’s too late
    for any chance to bring it back
    Too much has changed, now,
    to make up what we lack
    By the time I learn to forgive and forget
    You won’t remember my name

    Repeat Chorus


    Its a pretty emotionally packed song. If you ever get the chance to find it and listen to it, please do.

    So anyways that's what started the whole tear fest. I woke up in "a mood" anyways because of dreams that I thought I'd never dream again (dreams of the times we had split up all at once) and I'm sure that reading through my "song/poem" book didn't help it. I've been re reading my book over and over trying to figure out "music" for them and alot of this shit has to do with Hephaestus so its like I don't want to throw them away but I can't help but read "those" because there are not many that do not pertain to him. I'm working on it.

    And the other factor is that some of my photo albums were falling apart and I bought replacements and the pictures of him and the boys and our previous life together and all those memories. I can't imagine what my future (if I have have a future man) boyfriend would say about me keeping all those photos. Even our wedding/anniversary album. I just can't seem to throw any of it away.

    Oh well, I'm rambling and I need sleep.
