Rain is such a lonely sound
Falling on the ground
You're slipping away
You're slipping away

Driving through the midnight rain
Oh I call your name
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay

Take a chance it lasts forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance
The greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another

Take a chance
My lonely heart is in your hands

Please don't tell me it's the end
And we can't be friends
You're slipping away
You're slipping away

If you ever change your mind
Oh I'll give you time
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay

Take a chance it lasts forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance
The greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another

Take a chance and don't be cruel
Oh I'm waiting just for you
Take a chance and take my soul
Take a chance, oh baby
We should lose control

Take a chance it lasts forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance
The greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another

Oh yeah

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
