We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all

We danced on the moonlight
We danced on the stars
Too early the daylight
Came liftin' the mask

Oh I don't wanna let it end
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let the only thing
We ever had expire
Won't you take me through the night
To that far and distant light

Won't you take me back to paradise again

You took me to heaven
(Oh) You took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell

Oh I don't wanna let it end
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let the only thing
We ever had expire
Won't you take me through the night
To that far and distant light
Won't you take me back to paradise again

We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all
You took me to heaven
(Oh) You took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell
Oh I don't wanna let it end
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let the only thing
We ever had expire
Won't you take me through the night
To that far and distant light

'Cause we danced on the ceiling
And we danced on the wall
It gave me the reeling

I don't wanna let it end I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let the only thing
We ever had expire
We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall

I don't wanna let it end I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let the only thing
We ever had expire
We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall

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.
