Hide Your Heart (released under the title Notes from America in the United States), is the seventh studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was released on 9 May 1988, by Columbia Records, and her final release under the label. The album was recorded in , and produced by Desmond Child.
Unlike Tyler's previous two releases, the album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, but did see success in Europe.
The album features the song "Hide Your Heart" written by Paul Stanley, Desmond Child and Holly Knight. This song was later covered three times in 1989 Ace Frehley's Trouble Walkin', Robin Beck's Trouble Or Nothin', and Molly Hatchet's Lightning Strikes Twice. And performed in 1989 by Paul Stanley with Kiss on their Hot in the Shade album.
The album also features the original versions of the track "Save Up All Your Tears", which would be covered, with a faster arrangement, by Cher on her 1991 album Love Hurts, and the "The Best," later covered by Tina Turner. Also included are Bonnie Tyler's remake of Turner's 1986 b-side "Don't Turn Around" (which was also a #1 UK hit for Aswad in 1988 and an international hit for Ace of Base in 1994), and the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody", a hit two years later for Jimmy Somerville.
