Biography

Welsh-born singer Bonnie Tyler's nodules on her vocal cords prevented her from singing full time until 1976, when she underwent an operation to have them removed. The surgery left her with a raspy, husky voice that scored her a huge hit in 1978 with "It's a Heartache." The 1983 ballad "Total Eclipse of the Heart" spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard charts and helped the LP Faster Than the Speed of Night sell over a million copies and debut at number one in the U.K. Tyler then recorded "Holding Out for a Hero," which to date has remained her last major success. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

    Lyrics
    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

    Lyrics
    Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods?
    Where's the street wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
    Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
    Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
    I need a hero

    Lyrics
    It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
    Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
    It's a fools' game, nothing but a fool's game
    Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
    It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache

    Lyrics
    I was lost in France
    In the fields the birds were singing
    I was lost in France
    And the day was just beginning
    As I stood there in the morning rain
