This German morning of winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning - the day to wait it's turn
The city stumbles - to find the boots in bedrooms
A new wife wonders - why must he go so soon

She's crying in Berlin -
Love is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win

A sip of coffee - he sends a smile to greet her
Just for a second - she forgets what lovers have to learn
An empty window - an empty bed - an empty chair
She curses history - then hides her face behind her hair

And she's crying in Berlin
Her world is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile -
Will war's denial ever end
She's crying in Berlin
Her world is dying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win

She's crying in Berlin

A darkened doorway - an empty street - an empty heart
There is no sure way - to know if they will stay apart
He dissapears then - a waving hand she won't forget
One thing is certain - she will always see his silhouette
When she's crying in Berlin
When she's crying in Berlin
When she's trying hard to fight her fears
She'll fight her tears - and win

She's crying in Berlin
There's no denying - It's a sin - It's a sin

When the cities burn - love waits its turn -
For her and him

Crying in Berlin - crying in Berlin

She's been trying hard to force a smile
Will war's denial - ever end

Crying in Berlin

When the cities burn - love waits its turn - for her and him

Crying in Berlin - Crying in Berlin

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.
