When I wake up, in the morning
And I turn around and you're not there
Oh it hurts to know you're still so far away
Though I know deep inside you still care
And I want you, ooh, really want you
Oh, anyway and anyhow
I've waited such a long time for your sweet love
And I need you back home with me now

'Cause it's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still you're not there
And it's not enough to say that you love me
It's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still you're not there
Oh do you care?

Oh, please believe me, it's not easy
When you're so many miles from home
Oh I need you here to hold and comfort me
I'm so tired of being alone

'Cause it's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still you're not there

You gotta try to understand
That a woman like me just needs a man to love
(Oh, yes she does)
I know you love me loud and clear but if you're not here
It's not enough, you know...

It's not enough to say that you love me
And it's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough to say that you need me
If I wake up and still you're not there
It's not enough to say that you love me
It's not enough to say that you care
And it's not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still you're not there
If I wake up and still you're not there, oh
Oh no, no, no, It's not enough
Oh no, no, no, It's not enough

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.
