From the very first time - you said a word
I knew right then - I liked what I heard
You made good sense - you thought like me
And that's why - it's gotta be

It's just something - that you can't explain
No rhyme or reason - just a spark and a flame
It's what's inside - that we can't control
It's where words fail, but you just know

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
But sometimes when we're talking
I think I can fly
I don't know how it works
If there's a wrong or right
I believe in what I see and feel - here inside

Through thick and thin
I'll stand by you
Through everything
I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you

Friends are friends - some near or far
It's only once in awhile - someone touches your heart
And when something's right - and you feel so strong
It's like coming home - yeah, you know you belong

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
Something feels familiar
Deep down inside
I don't know how it works
Or who makes the rules
I only know the way I feel
When I'm here with you

Through thick and thin
I'll stand by you
Through everything
I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you
And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
But sometimes when we're talking
I think I can fly
I don't know how it works
If there's a wrong or right
I believe in what I see and feel - here inside

Through thick or thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you

Through thick and thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you

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.
