[Verse 1: Bonnie Tyler]
Time goes by and lets my heart unwind
Turns my head and eases up my mind
Carrying on from where I started long ago
I wanna tell the world, I wanna put the word around

[Verse 2: Cliff Richard]
Hungry hearts and voices everywhere
No defeat and I don't have a care
Put me on a carousel and let my heart run wild
I wanna tell the world, I wanna put the word around

[Chorus]
Wind rushing, sound pushing
I'm back on my feet again, right back in that seat again
Killing the speed of sound
I'm taking control, taking control

[Verse 3]
Standing tall now I can touch the sky
The power within me and I feel so high
Following that horizon on a sailboat ride
I wanna tell the world, I wanna put the word around

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]
Game playing, I'm staying here till I can't sing no more
What the future brings, I know I'll take it in my stride
I'm taking control, taking control
I'm taking control, taking control

[Chorus]
Wind rushing, sound pushing
I'm back on my feet again, right back in that seat again
Killing the speed of sound
I'm taking control, taking control

Game playing, I'm staying here till I can't sing no more
What the future brings I know I'll take it in my stride

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.
