Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Neath) is a Welsh singer. Born into a large working-class family of six children, her father worked as a miner while her mother, an opera fan, shared her love of music with her children. Influenced by the music of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, as a teen she sang with a group called "Bobby Wayne and the Dixies," following which she formed her own band, calling it Imagination. Adopting different stage names until settling on Bonnie Tyler, for nearly a decade she and her band performed at pubs and nightclubs all over South Wales. In 1975 Bonnie Tyler recorded her first single for RCA Records called "My My Honeycomb" that failed to make the charts.

Before We Get Any Closer Lyrics
Bonnie Tyler
(r.j. scott/ c. stevens)
Producer for bonnie: r.j. scott
Before we get any closer
Before we let it begin
Before our feelings take over us
I wanna tell you one thing
Im just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in her life
I wont pretend to me more than I am
Ive had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
Im just an ordinary girl
Who wants to reach out and find
Someone who honestly feels like I do
Love is so a fragile thing Id sooner never begin
Than to find out too late, its not true
Before we get any closer
Before we tell any lies
Before we make any promises
We really ought to decide
Is this a casual event
Two ships that pass in the night
Could we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings and most
Could ever know for the whole of their lives
Before we get any closer
Before we two become us
I need to know if youll always be
Someone to totally trust
Im just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in her life
I wont pretend to me more than I am
Ive had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
Is this the casual event
Two ships that pass in the night
Could we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings and most
Couldnt ever know for the whole of their lives
