ATF: Trailing Behind

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Bonnie Tyler

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 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 I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit angry

And I know I've 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

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

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

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

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'll 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

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 start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

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

A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around

Bright eyes

Turn around

Bright eyes

Turn around

Two Steps Behind

Def Leppard

Walk away

If you want to

It's okay

If you need to

Well you can run

But you can never hide

From the shadow

That's creepin' up beside you

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you can't have it all

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah

Yeah

Take the time

To think about it

Just walk the line

You know you just can't fight it

Take a look around

You see what you can find

Like the fire

That's burnin' up inside me

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you can't have it all

No

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh

Oh oh oh

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you

You can't have it all

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah baby

Two steps behind

Oh sugar

Two steps behind
