"Turn around bright eyes."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"Turn around bright eyes."
What's actually sung
"Turn around bright eyes." Total Eclipse of the Heart — Bonnie Tyler (1983)
Why the ear defaults
Correct as printed — but commonly heard as "Turn around, Brian Tyler" (nonsense) or "Turn around, Bronze Eyes." Tyler's rasp blurs the consonant cluster.
