Take my Breath away
Berlin and Terri Nunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
"Take my breath away
Take my breath away"
Watching, I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
"My love, take my breath away"
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
"If only for today
I am unafraid"
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say
"Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love
My love, take my breath away
My love"

Watching every motion
Observing every action with keen interest
In my foolish lover's game
In my unwise pursuit of love
On this endless ocean
In this vast and infinite environment
Finally lovers know no shame
At last, lovers feel no embarrassment
Turning and returning
Moving back and forth
To some secret place inside
To an undisclosed location within myself
Watching in slow motion
Observing in slow-motion to savor the experience
As you turn around and say
As you turn towards me and speak
"Take my breath away
"Overwhelm me with your love
Watching, I keep waiting
Continuously waiting and watching
Still anticipating love
Hoping for love to come
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Unafraid to become destined lovers
Turning and returning
Continuously moving back and forth

"My love, thoroughly impress me with your love"
Through the hourglass I saw you
In the hourglass of time, I glimpsed you
In time you slipped away
Over time, you gradually left my life
When the mirror crashed I called you
When the mirror shattered, I cried out for you
And turned to hear you say
And rotated to hear your voice
"If only for today
"Even if it's only for today
I am unafraid"
I am not scared"
"Take my breath away
"Leave me speechless with your love
Watching every motion
Observing every action with intense interest

Tormented by the idea
Somewhere there's a love in flames
A love that is passionately burning somewhere

Moving back and forth
To some secret place inside
To an undisclosed location within myself
Watching in slow motion
Observing in slow-motion to savor the experience
As you turn my way and say
As you direct your attention towards me and speak
"Take my breath away
"Overwhelm me with your love
My love, take my breath away"
My dear, leave me breathless with your love
"My love, take my breath away
"Beloved, impress me with your love
"My love"
"My beloved"
