Goodbye to the IslandBonnie Tyler

Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again

Goodbye to the island
Where our bodies touched
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much

(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way

A bed it is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm, so close
Goodbye to the island
Where, where it mattered the most

(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again
(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way

Bonnie Tyler

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.
