I can see the glow
Of the distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day
Could be the one

I can hear the roar
Of the distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I'm going to show them all

I can see the world
In a different light
Now it's easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
Holding on isn't always easy
I am gonna change my mind

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall

(Instrumental)

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Yeah, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall

Maybe the road's not easy
I'm gonna show them all

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.
