Grew up together in the neighbourhood
She never noticed that he looked so good
He told her "All I do is dream of you", oh yeah
No she had never seen in her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that Gleam - Just like James Dean

Big plans they made in a small hometown
No chance to leave would really bring him down
A crazy rebel with a cause - He was for sure, oh yeah
Oh she had never seen in her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that Gleam - Just like James Dean

He writes her letters from a round the world
Says he loves her and she's still his girl
Maybe he'll come back, don't know when
Oh she'll never see her baby again

He's got the whole world in his hands
And she was Alice in his wonderland
Oh they had dreams, but now he has it all, yeah
No she had never seen in her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that Gleam - Just like James Dean

She was the diamond of his eyes
And she would always be right by his side
But good guys only win in the movies, yeah
Oh she had never seen in her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that Gleam - Just like James Dean

He writes her letters from around the world
Says he loves her and she's still his girl
Maybe he'll come hack, don't know when
Oh she'll never see her baby again

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.
