You Take My Breath Away
Danny Lerman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had castles built on high
I'd find a million ways
to write your name
Against the sky

Just to let you know,
you've caught my eye
And if I had more than
wealth could buy

I'd sell it all and start again
for just a chance with you
Girl, I'd given my all to win your love
And I would be rich

And I would built all
my world around you
Just to show you
How to take my breath away

And you would find love, sweet lady
Nobody else this side of heaven knows
How you take my breath away
If I could turn the day to night

If I had faith to walk on water
Maybe you would see,
the reason I thank God for miracles
Cause baby when you walk into sight

You turned an ordinary man
like me into a king
I would do anything to wind your love
Chorus

I think there's something
here worth sayin'
I don't want to scare you
So let me make my wish

and hope that you believe
In simple love, like I do
Say that it's true, baby
Cause you've got me shakin'

My breath has now been taken
I've got to overcome this achin'




To win your love
Chorus
