Lyrics for singles by Bonnie Tyler
It's A Heartache
Holding Out for a Hero
Total Eclipse Of The Heart
Straight From The Heart
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him til your arms break
Then he lets you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
[chorus]
Out where the mountains meets the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
[chorus]
(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
I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
