Bonnie Tyler gives a sneak peek of her big eclipse performance of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'

Get your lighters ready.

Let's be honest -- it just wouldn't be Eclipse Day without a mention of Bonnie Tyler's song "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and lucky for us, Tyler is giving everyone a special performance of the song to celebrate.

Tyler, who hopped on Royal Caribbean's Total Eclipse Cruise to perform her hit song during the event, gave CNN a little preview of the big show by performing her favorite verse from the popular ballad.

Of course, this performance wouldn't be complete without anchor John Berman waving a lighter in-studio to capture the mood.

~ So 1983 ~

If you're not on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas to see Tyler's nostalgic and on-the-nose performance (if you are, we're really jealous), get your eclipse glasses and your headphones ready, and experience this total eclipse of the sun with a total eclipse of the heart.
