I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Shes coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: Hurry boy, its waiting there for you
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had"
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And youre 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 Im lying like a child in your arms
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit angry
And I know Ive 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 only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well 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 (all of the time)
I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
(Forevers gonna start tonight)
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know youll never be the boy
You always wanted to be
(Turn around)
But every now and then
I know youll always be the only boy
Who wanted me the way that I am
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know theres no one in the universe
As magical and wondrous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know theres nothing any better
Theres nothing that I just wouldnt 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 only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well 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 (all of the time)
I dont know what to do
Im always in the dark
Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
(Forevers gonna start tonight)
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres 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
