Bonnie Tyler

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna try
Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I know I'll find
That the world still goes on
Just a part of it's gone
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Baby, oh baby, I made a mistake
I thought love was something, they no longer made
But since you have brought back, some love to my eyes
My doubting of people, no longer applies

Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

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.
