I told you once I told you twice
This love is not a sacrifice
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
0h tears may go and years may come
See my heart, look what you've done
0h take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

I wasted days, I wasted nights
A restless love, an endless fight
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
My world begins and ends with you
A breathless love painted in blue
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

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.
