You came from nowhere
And pushed back the sky
I didn't want to go there
I preferred to deny

I thought - love was for dreamers
Angels and fools
I'd had my fill of schemers
Life was so cruel.....

Then you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

I was picking up the pieces
Of a so-called broken heart
Then you proved the best release is
A "brand new start"

Ah, 'cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground

Funny how we don't know - what's to come -
Ooh yeah
Just when we think the party's over -
You know, the party's just begun

'Cos you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - ooo - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

'Cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground

Then you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

'Cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground

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.
