In the middle of a sleepless night
Got a feeling and it just ain't right
The feeling just grows in my mind
Something's missing in the way we kiss
Never had so many nights like this.
Feels like a dream but it's true.

I know I don't take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you touch me
It's nothing like before
I know I don't take you to heaven anymore
I can tell by the way you love me
It's nothing like before
I can tell by the way you love me
It's nothing like before

In the middle of a lonely day
Though you're with me you're so far away
We used to be close real close
Baby can't you see the danger signs
Something's gone wrong can't you see.

I know I don't take you to heaven anymore
I can tell
Or he's the one and only "King".
Like he was singing "Now or never
He's just a golden memory.

My dear friend I won't forget

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on 8 June 1951) is a Welsh singer. Her first hit single, "Lost In France", reached the UK Top 10 in 1976 and she was nominated for Best British Female Newcomer at the 1977 Brit Awards. Soon after, Tyler underwent an operation to remove nodules from her vocal cords which left her with a distinctively husky voice. However, this did not affect her career and her 1977 single "It's a Heartache" became a hit in both Europe and North America. more »
