[Verse 1]
When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well, hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

[Verse 2]
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone
If you feel like letting go
When you think you've had too much of this life
Well, hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

[Bridge]
Don't throw your hand
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

[Verse 3]
If you're on your own
In this life, the days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
Sometimes everybody hurts
Everybody cries

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.
