You could have saved my life
You could have brought me love
You could have been so right
You fitted me like a glove

You could have been the sun
That shone on me every day
You could have been the one
To take me away

But you were too good to last
Baby you were too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last
Oh yeah too good to last
You're too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last

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 »
