Every now and then

I get a little bit lonely

and you're

never comin' 'round

Every now and then

I get a little bit tired

of listenin' to the

sound of my tears

Every now and then

I get a little bit nervous

that the best of all

the years have gone by

Every now and then

I get a little bit terrified

and then I see

the look in your eyes

Every now and then

I fall apart

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 holdin' on forever

And we'll only be

makin' it right

'cause we'll never be wrong

Once upon a time

I was fallin' in love

now I'm only fallin' apart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

Every now and then

I know you'll never be the boy

you always wanted to be

But every now and then

I know you'll always be

the only boy who wanted me

the way that I am

Every now and then

I know there's no one

in the universe as magical

and wondrous as you

Every now and then

I know there's

nothin' any better

there's nothin' that

I just wouldn't do

Every now and then

I fall apart

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 holdin' on forever

And we'll only be

makin' 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 livin' in a powder keg

and givin' off sparks

I really need you tonight

forever's gonna

start tonight

forever's gonna start to...

Once upon a time

I was fallin' in love

now I'm only fallin' apart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time

there was light in my life

now there's only

love in the dark

Nothin' I can say

a total eclipse of the heart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

Nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart

nothin' I can do

a total eclipse of the heart
