Total Eclipse Of The Heart
by Nikki French |
Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry Turn around, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart Turn around bright eyes Turn around bright eyes Turn around, Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be Turn around, But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am Turn around, Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you Turn around, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turn around bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight Well be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart Nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart |
I'm not sure which of the newer versions this is. I have about four different ones, and I cannot trust the labels, but this one is the one I prefer. I have mixed feelings about Nikki French. Her songs, or at least some of them, as I have not heard all of them, take on a sort of damsel-in-distress, looking-for-Prince-Charming aspect to them. That sort of thing does not appeal to my more rational side, but there is still something attractive about, for lack of a better way of putting it, the prospect of being a rescuer. I would not actually want a female with that mentality, but there is some slight appeal. Frou Frou does a fantastic cover of Holding Out For A Hero, which plays during the end credits of the movie Shrek 2. For anyone familiar with Imogen Heap, and does not know, she is the singer for Frou Frou. Interestingly enough, I don't care for her solo work, but I think she great in Frou Frou. |
