Matter of the HeartBonnie Tyler

Songwriter: Phil Brown Adam Mitchell

Producer for bonnie: ?
Recorded in 1986 for the soundtrack to the film 'the wraith', starring charlie sheen. Lyrics taken from careful listening

If it was a matter of money
You'd be in by now
She'd be lying by your side
You'd be thinking
Love's door is open wide

You feel defeated
But you're acting proud
Would you try to hide it?
She doesn't care how you come at all
You know all that matters
Is that your love is strong

It's a matter of the heart
It's a matter of the soul
You know a good love only starts
When you start to lose control
And she's calling out your name
And she needs you in the night
You gotta run into the flame
'til you're blinded by the light

You've got to take her in your arms
And let her know
She'll always be your spark
It defines a mans' heart
It's just a matter of the heart

You thought she'd swallow
All the tales you told
Ready to believe
You're so together
There's nothing you can't do, no

But first impressions only leave her cold
It isn't what she needs
She doesn't care about the world you planned
She'll run to you, if you understand

It's a matter of the heart
It's a matter of the soul
You know a good love only starts
When you start to lose control
And she's calling out your name
And she needs you in the night
You gotta dive into the flame
'til you're blinded by the light

Oh... Instrumental

It's a matter of the heart
It's a matter of the soul
You know a good love only starts
When you start to lose control
And she's calling out your name
And she needs you in the night
You gotta run into the flame
'til you're blinded by the light

It's a matter of the heart
Matter of the heart (x5)

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.
