Lyrics of Total Eclipse of the Heart by Nicki French

verse

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming around
(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

verse

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

chorus

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

verse

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

verse

(Turn around)
Every now and then I know you'll never be
The boy you always you wanted to be
(Turn around)
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 wonderous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

pre-chorus

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

chorus

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

verse

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

chorus

Once upon a time I was falling in love
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

outro

Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
