Bonnie Tyler

Songwriter: Takashi Nakagawa Kintaro Nakamura Bill Crutchfield

Sometimes you were tender
So tender to me
But I was lookin' for freedom
Just had to be free
Like a baby with a new toy
I was too young to know
Livin' in a dream world where real love can't grow

It's sayonara tokyo
It's goodbye forever
I'll never be back, never be back

Sayonara tokyo
We cannot live in a memory
I'm lookin' for love where it finds me
Sayonara tokyo
Time is a train on a one-way track
I'm goin' away to the cold north

Now it seems such a long time
When the miles come between
Thе many nameless faces and thе places I've seen
Bringin' yesterday's memories
Oh, so clear to my mind
I can finally see where my heart was blind

It's sayonara tokyo
It's goodbye forever
I'll never be back, never be back

Sayonara tokyo
We cannot live in a memory
I'm lookin' for love where it finds me
Sayonara tokyo
Time is a train on a one-way track
I'm goin' away to the cold north

Sayonara tokyo
Time is a train on a one-way track
I'm goin' away to the cold north

Looking for love
Where you find me
In the cold north

Sayonara tokyo
Sayonara tokyo
It's the time

It has the memories
Sayonara tokyo

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.
