Total Eclipse of the Heart
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" written by Jim Steinman
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
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

Dang you, Gramps.

I can be minding my own business and have a song come on the radio or whatever and suddenly I find myself transported to another place and time. Almost as if it had really happened, emotions and everything sometimes hit me up side the head. Especially if it is a song that I haven't heard in a long time.
