Born in Skewen, South Wales, Tyler rose to prominence with her first hit single "Lost in France" in 1976. She signed a management deal with British songwriters Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who wrote and co-produced Tyler's first four studio albums between 1977 and 1981. "It's a Heartache" became Tyler's first US hit, with worldwide sales in excess of 6 million.
In 1982, Tyler signed with CBS/Columbia and began working with producer-songwriter Jim Steinman. He wrote her biggest career hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", and produced its parent album, "Faster Than the Speed of Night" (1983), and the follow-up, "Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire" (1986). Both albums were noted for their bombastic pop-rock production and melodramatic lyrics. Tyler's next album, "Hide Your Heart" (1988), was produced by Desmond Child and included several tracks that later became hits for other artists, including "The Best" for Tina Turner and "Save Up All Your Tears" for Cher.
Tyler leaned further into a commercial pop sound in the 1990s. She signed with Hansa Records and recorded her next album, "Bitterblue" (1991), with an assortment of producers including Giorgio Moroder, Roy Bittan and Dieter Bohlen. Her subsequent albums "Angel Heart" (1992)" and "Silhouette in Red" (1993) were recorded almost exclusively with Bohlen.
Towards the end of the 90s, Tyler moved to East West Records and recorded the albums "Free Spirit" (1995) and "All in One Voice" (1998). She continued to experiment with cross-genre sounds in the 2000s, recording the covers album "Heart Strings" (2003) with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2004, Tyler began recording in Paris with producer Jean Lahcène, beginning with a re-recording of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" which topped the charts in France and Belgium. Tyler promoted her subsequent albums "Simply Believe" (2004) and "Wings" (2005) with a world tour and the release of her first concert film Bonnie on Tour.
Tyler spent the following eight years concentrating on her live work before returning to the studio for "Rocks and Honey" (2013). The album includes her UK Eurovision entry "Believe in Me". In 2018, Tyler reunited with David Mackay, who produced Tyler's first two albums in the 1970s, for her latest releases "Between the Earth and the Stars" (2019) and "The Best Is Yet to Come" (2021).
Tyler has contributed to several film soundtracks. Her most notable recording is "Holding Out for a Hero" which featured in Footloose, and has since become synonymous with action sequences, having later appeared in Shrek 2, Loki, and in numerous movie trailers. In 1984, Tyler sang the track "Here She Comes" for Giorgio Moroder's restoration of Fritz Lange's Metropolis, a recording which led to Tyler's third Grammy nomination.
Say Goodbye
Bonnie Tyler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know why it's hurting
Hoping for just one sign in your eyes
That tells me you will be still
Where can I go to find you?
What must I do to feel you?
Always looking, but too blind to see
Say goodbye, I'll never forget
Say goodbye, I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
'Cause we, we'll find a way...one day
What can I do, to hold you
Now that I know, I love you
Never found that our hearts felt the same
'Til the cold light of day stole our dreams
Say goodbye, I'll never forget
Say goodbye, 'cause I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
'Cause we, we'll find a way...
Say goodbye, I'll never forget
Say goodbye, I believe in the day
Say goodbye, our hearts could beat both together
'Cause we, we'll find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way
Bonnie Tyler's song "Say Goodbye" is about a person who has realized the depth of their love for another person, but it is too late to make things right. The lyrics convey a sense of longing to cling to what has been lost, and the pain of coming to terms with the fact that it is time to say goodbye. The song speaks to the deeply human struggle to understand and connect with others, and the sorrow of knowing that it might not always be possible to do so.
The lyrics of the song speak of burning emotions that the singer feels for someone else, but they are not reciprocated. The tone of the song is melancholic, as if the person is mourning a loss that hasn't even happened yet. The chorus speaks of the singer's belief in the day that they will be reunited with their love.
The overall theme of the song seems to be one of hope in the face of losing something cherished. Even though the relationship may have ended, the singer still holds onto the possibility that someday they will be together again. This song represents one of the most relatable emotions we go through in life, the feeling of loss and the hope to regain what we have lost in the future.

Our dreams were taken away by the harsh realities of life
We will find a way
Despite the challenges, I believe we will find a way to be together
We will find a way
Our love is strong enough to overcome any obstacle
We will find a way
No matter what happens, we will find a way to be together

En algún lugar dentro se quema
No sé por qué le duele
Esperando sólo una señal en tus ojos
Eso me dice que se sigue
¿Dónde puedo ir a buscarte?
¿Qué debo hacer para que se siente?
Siempre buscando, pero demasiado ciego para ver
Usted estuvo allí, a mi lado
Decir adiós, nunca voy a olvidar
Decir adiós, yo creo en el día
Decir adiós, el corazón pudo vencer a los dos juntos
Porque nosotros, vamos a encontrar una manera de ... un día
¿Qué puedo hacer, para mantener
Ahora que lo sé, Te amo
Nunca encontró que nuestro corazón sentía lo mismo
'Hasta que la luz del día robó nuestros sueños
Decir adiós, nunca voy a olvidar
Decir adiós, porque yo creo en el día
Decir adiós, el corazón pudo vencer a los dos juntos
Porque nosotros, vamos a encontrar una manera de ...
Decir adiós, nunca voy a olvidar
Decir adiós, yo creo en el día
Decir adiós, nuestros corazones
