A Song To Sing While Driving

Yesterday, on one of the Facebook pages I had 'liked', this "midweek reflection" was posted: "What song do you love to sing at the top of your lungs when in the car?"
First of all, the ONLY place I still sing is in my car and ONLY when I am alone. I never could carry a tune and that has only gotten worse with age. I had to think about the question for a minute. There are a lot of songs I like and might sing along with, but only one I turn up loud and belt out.....

.....Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart from her 1983 album, Faster Than The Speed Of Night.

Back then, I had myself wrapped in country western music so even though my children tried to get me to listen to their favorite music, I couldn't hear it. I didn't tumble to this favorite of my daughter's until after she went away to college and took her tunes with her. I had to buy my own cassette tape, which I was still playing and singing along with until about a year ago. The tape broke. I tried to splice it, but it didn't work. I buy very few CD's anymore, but this might be one I need to seek out.

"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, but 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 start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
And 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, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart"
