I'm imagining a letter
I would write to you
How it might make me feel better
To get this message through

I would put it down so clearly
In black and white
Just how much I need you really
And just how much I might

Compromise - to make - us work
Yeah, compromise - to ease
All this hurt

Hold out your heart
(and) I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us

Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss

'Cos all we need is - communication
Connecting eye to eye
And station to station

And I know that when you're reading
These words from me
You'll get a grip on why I'm pleading
For your hard head to see

That all we need is - communication
Seeing eye to eye
And station to station

Hold out your heart
I will accept it
You know, you have kept it
Hidden for too long

Hold out your heart
Don't be scared now
To win we must dare - now
We can't go wrong

Hold out your heart
I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us

Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss

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.
