Bonnie Tyler

Songwriter: Giorgio Moroder Tom Whitlock

Producer: Giorgio Moroder

Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If you're looking' for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think you've got a ghost of a chance?
It's the coldest of towns to be lookin' for romance

Ooh run away baby - you're too young to see
The way it's goin' down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
You're running' from it all so you better run now

Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It's supposed to be easy - but it's so so mad
All the things we say
When the world's gone crazy - it's so hard to handle
Sooner or later it'll all come clearer
When love is in love again

Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces you've seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me

Everybody's looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow

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.
