About Here Am I

"Here Am I" is a song by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, released as a single from her 1978 album Natural Force by RCA Records. It was written by Tyler's at-the-time managers Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe. The B-side was "Don't Stop the Music", a song that was never released on any Tyler studio album. "Here Am I" was not a chart success in the UK, but peaked at number 18 in the singles charts in Germany, and was in the best-sellers lists for two months. After two weeks in the Norwegian top ten, the single rose to number 4 in the third week. In the same week, her previous single "It's a Heartache" was one spot above "Here Am I" in the Norwegian singles chart.

Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wond'rin' why I wanted to be free.
Here am I next to you
Wond'rin' what we ought to do.
Can't afford to lose it all again.
Here am I
There are you
You nearly broke our hearts in two
Would have been the worst thing in the world.
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy
What a fool I was
What a fool.
From the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby
But now I know - oh!
Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wond'rin' why I wanted to be free.
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy
What a fool I was
Oh what a fool.
From the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby
But now I know - oh!
Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wond'rin' why I wanted to be free.
Here am I next to you
Wond'rin' what we ought to do
Can't afford to lose it all again.
Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms once again
Wond'rin' why I wanted to be free.
Here am I there are you
You nearly broke our hearts in two.
Would have been the worst thing in the world.

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 »
