Song lyrics
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, 
and you're never coming round... 
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit tired, 
of listening to the sound of my tears... 
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous, 
that the best of all the years have gone by... 
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, 
and then I see the look in your eyes... 
Turnaround, bright eyes 
Every now and then I fall apart 
Turnaround, bright eyes 
Every now and then I fall apart 

Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit breathless, 
and I dream of something wild... 
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless, 
and I'm lying like a child in your arms... 
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit angry, 
and I know i've got to get out AND CRY
Turnaround... 
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified, 
but then I see the look in your eyes... 
Turnaround, bright eyes 
Every now and then I fall apart 
Turnaround, 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 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 to start tonight 
Forever's gonna to 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 

Turnaround, bright eyes
Turnaround, bright eyes

Turnaround...
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be
Turnaround...
Every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround...
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do 
Turnaround, bright eyes 
Every now and then I fall apart 
Turnaround, 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 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 
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 to start tonight 
Forever's gonna to 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 
A total eclipse of the heart 
A total eclipse of the heart 

...Turnaround bright eyes 
...Turnaround bright eyes, turn around..

I have liked this song for a long time now and everytime I hear it I have to listen to the whole thing and I still get it stuck in my head. It's a very strong song lyric-wise.

Hi!! I'm new here and I just wanted to comment on the replies to Total Eclipse of the Heart. I personally reckon that it carries a strong message of loosing a loved one. And sure it is old but what new song do you know of that is strong lyrically and melodically? Not a lot that's for sure. People cry over it all the time. It;s the nature of the song.
