There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
There's a way, everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you

You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my pain, I see your face again
It's burning in my mind
You ain't got to be so blind that I'm alive
I'm a woman, can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do, if I ain't got you
If I ain't got 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.
