I never knew that I was standing in the rain
My mind was wandering back to you again
There's a thousand miles between us
Though it feels a thousand more
Cos tonight I sleep alone

I never realized how time could drag on
Never thought about how long the days are
And I never heard my heart beat
Till the first night you were gone
Then I know I was alone

When I close my eyes and I think of you
I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so blue
When I need you here, all I do
I close my yes
Then I'm with you

I could see miracles
They wouldn't mean a thing
I don't want memories
If you're not part of them
Any photograph without you
Would never grace my wall
I don't wanna stand alone

When I close my eyes and I think of you
I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so blue
When I need you here, all I do
I close my yes
Then I'm with you

Then I see you there
And I visualize, both of us touching, both of us touching
Then I hold you here
Can feel you now, I'm lost in the moment, lost in the moment
And I can't let go cos I won't let go
I will keep holding, I will keep holding
When I clear my yes, to wipe away the tears
Everything shatters, everything's gone

And I never heard my heart beat, till the first night you were gone
I never felt so lonely, I didn't want to be alone

When I close my eyes and I think of you
I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so blue
When I need you here, all I do
I close my yes
Then I'm with 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.
